BLURB
I believe that the way we imagine things defines how we relate to them, and I am interested in exploring ways to deconstruct systemic oppression through the way we imagine social causes.
ONLINE CAMPAIGNING
I use online formats to investigate, illustrate, and question the ways in which media, language, and politics forge the way people collectively imagine different social causes and therefore how this directly affects how they relate to them.

CREATIVE PRACTICE
As an artist and a writer, I explore the role of art in questioning and reshaping the ways we imagine social causes, and therefore its contribution to social change. Most of my creative projects deal with the idea of reimagining social matters through art in order to lead people to engage with them from a new perspective, and thus better relate to them.
CLOSER
CLOSER is like a magnifier. The artistic process of translating the stories people share with me over social media onto these white canvases is for me like zooming into these personal stories, and the final creations are like selected pixels of a greater picture, in-depth and intimate details constituting the essence of these stories and bringing attention to underlying social causes or dynamics.
