I am a photographer, videographer, writer, and researcher based in New York City. My work moves across journalism, visual storytelling, and human rights advocacy, distilling complexity into sharp, clear narratives. I explore themes of grief, borders, sapphic love, and the temporalities of exile, both in my writing and through the lens. In 2023, I delivered a TEDx talk on writing in exile, offering a glimpse into where I come from.
