I write and I write and a lot of times I go back to the American lens, though sometimes it's a struggle to come from that perspective.

I think that through the narratives of other people you get closer to your own.

I read a lot when I was in school in the United States, and even though writing in English is very difficult for me, I wrote in journals.

I don't approach my writing or my work from an academic or analytical point of view. I do it for myself.

I'm doing a collaborative project with another artist, Mary Hamill. My project is to gather the oral history of war widows, starting with the women of my village, Kop Nymit.

This is my first collaboration [with Mary Hamill] so I'm going to learn how it's going to work.

Sometimes it may be something I hear in the news that affects me.
