Poems and other stories

Sometimes life becomes challenging. Sometimes we feel unable to move forward.
Illness may come, and the pain can feel unbearable.
For me, being an artist while living with an autoimmune disease adds another layer of difficulty.

Yet, poetry and art are my solace.
Through hidden words, I find expression. Sometimes it’s political, sometimes it reflects the darker side of the art world. At other times, it is about love, hope, and the ongoing fight to endure.

My work is about sharing experiences on this planet—
with the hope of contributing to a better future, shaped by a deeper understanding of the past.
A record for the generations to come.
