To be loved is to be heard. To be loved is to be seen. To be loved is to be  changed.

 My twenty-two years of creating have been driven by a desire to be understood, as I never saw myself reflected in the languages and systems afforded to me. This disorientation is what inspired my recent years of inquiry: 

How do I define myself in the oppressor’s tongue?
Only after dedicating a year to throwing myself at a canvas, communing with paint in states free of expectation, did I realize I could drive my autonomy by creating my own psycho-derivative visual vocabulary. I needed to share this process of liberation with others and exercise it in larger ways. 

My question thus evolved, using the language of design: How can we design for feeling when we don’t know what we’re feeling?
