The quest for being always leads us to question who we are, to delve into our own identity. Today, I see myself as someone who seeks to express their emotions and thoughts through various artistic forms. I use tools such as photography, writing, video, sound, and manual techniques to channel what I feel and think.
I'm constantly expanding my horizons in the art world, exploring new ways to communicate and express myself in this creative language. My work is always imbued with the memory and experience of migration, reflecting the realities I face in my day-to-day life.
Words desperately flow from me when I write. I capture images that evoke who I was in a particular space and time. Video is essential to me, like the air I breathe; it's the fundamental language I use not only to live but to express my deepest being.
