My work dismantles spiritual colonialism and reclaims feminine power through mythic realism.
It delves into the intersections of Indigenous spirituality and the migrant experience, exposing how displacement fractures, reshapes, and reclaims the human spirit.
I move through power, sexuality, religion, gender, and ancestral memory—unraveling the systems that attempt to suppress them.
This is not a search for identity, but a confrontation with the forces that distort it—an excavation of what endures beneath erasure.
