The creative process is integral as it allows me to make sense of my surroundings and my place within them.

The arts are an important format of expression, leading us to thoughtful discussions about social and internal matters. Reflective of the evergoing diversity and culture our experiences reflect a nuanced human experience, coherent of messages and artistic freedom. Subjective in matter the space promotes an abundance of ideas praised uniquely and universally, an amalgamation of existing ideals, prescient to the manner of expression and exploration. An eternal monologue, externally conformed, drawing on the experiences of displacement, heritage, and culture, a voice beyond the uncertainty and chaotic matter.

On the edges of the thruway
threading New York
to New Jersey
a stone’s throw from the Whitney Houston
service area
find the real heart of America
stubborn icon
of America’s plains
rough grass growing
quietly
taking in
the landscape
of trucks crowding
all of daylight
rough grass remembering
the feet of five nations
