for speaking our dialect.
At 12, I learned shame
before I ever learned pride."

An extended honours thesis investigating
analog and digital media as ontological
modes of being. Using phenomenology
and twelve qualitative interviews with
participants spanning book binders to
magazine publishers. I graduated with
the highest possible distinction. I charted
my research out in marker on my closet
and bedroom walls.
My supervisor called it gutsy.

A three-hour live art shoot inside the
What Is Happening Here gallery, Amsterdam.
Sarai was painted. That became art.
We filmed it. That became art.
I shot it. That became art.
Throughout the session, I was experimenting
freely as the work built around me with my
favorite image coming from a long exposure
I tried on instinct.
Like with most projects, the real gems here
emerged from being in the room and feeding off
each other. Very jazzy.

2025—Ongoing
A living digital archive where people
anonymously submit reflections on
things they are trying to unlearn
as a result of colonialism. Currently
at 100+ submissions (all through
word of mouth).
I built the site without ever touching
code before, wrote all the content, and
consciously promoted it offline. The concept
originated from a talk I gave at my
Humanity in Action Fellowship that opened
up an unexpectedly vulnerable space.
The archive gives that moment a permanent
home.

2024—2025
A year-long cultural programming residency
at Vox Pop, one of Amsterdam's established
institutional cultural houses, producing five
events spanning grief, Afrofuturism, urban
space, and a month-long art exhibition.
I was one of five selected. Over the course
of the year I designed all graphic and
promotional material, shot event photography,
managed speaker and performer relationships
(inclusive of care riders and pre-event dinners),
and ran operations on the night.
Every single time.

2025
A photo series exploring the negotiation of
autonomy and submission within gendered
dress. A project that evolved from an editorial
shoot to an exploration of a new art form.
Published in 17:23 and Goji ; acquired
by What Is Happening Here, Amsterdam;
sold at Vrij Paleis, Amsterdam.
We bootlegged the whole thing and it worked.
Documentary · Direction · Production · Research
A documentary on memento mori, discussing
how we imagine death, and what space it
occupies in our lives. Conducted in three
languages across four subjects, the film is an
asynchronous conversation between an artist
and his audience: we brought their perspectives
to him, and his work to them.
I found the artist, originated the concept, and
directed from first interview to final cut.
Neither I nor anyone in our team had ever
produced before. Screened at the
Kriterion theatre, Amsterdam.
