“My poetry and art attempt to unravel the meddling of current social crises, political diaspora and mental illness. I address the current global socio-political violence by portraying the complicated emotions and experiences of a young woman who has multiple layers of marginalized personal identities. Through my art, I aim to construct a moment of reflection and compassion by putting myself in a global context and connecting my own political diaspora to those of people from other cultures, genders, health conditions, etc.”
