2025 — Withdrawal, Rest & Reorientation
Took a year of retreat in response to global crises (genocide in Gaza, worldwide rise of fascism) and personal caregiving responsibilities, prioritizing mental and physical recovery. This period became a time of rethinking how to integrate deeper social struggle into my creative work, giving birth to my new body of work Marked by the Moon.
