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.

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

You get closer to your own humanity by understanding the stories of other people and the struggles they have.

I think every writer has their waves of inspiration and their ways of doing things. But writing is very difficult for me. It's something I haven't practiced as diligently as my visual art. I've been doing visual art because I think it's easier for me to construct, whereas words are very difficult.

You have to experiment with different mediums and things around you [making art].

I'm very connected to the story, the history, and the trauma people experience.
