Words are the breath of existence, predating the languages that attempt to organize them. They are primordial — older than the first constructed language, older even than the first systems of thought or written symbols attempting to capture them.
In my work, words are not mere passive tools or building blocks in communication. They are living beings. In many African philosophical traditions, words are forces — entities with the power to shape reality, heal, wound, call into existence, create or dismantle. Naming is neither description or passive; it is an act of creation.
I create from this understanding. Through transdisciplinary lens, spanning mechanical engineering, medical physics, data science, software engineering, and psychology — I approach words as self-sufficient, generative presences, dynamic systems of both logic and feeling.
Painting allows the residue of word-memory to find form, movement, and color. Poetry offers me a direct channel into the boundless emotional currents, that move beyond time and space. Through software engineering, words are constructed into logic, creating dynamic systems, that grow and evolve.
Word is my site of origin, I begin or end — sometimes both — at this site of grace when creating. Whether through canvas, code, verse, or the endless permutations and combinations between them and beyond — I seek to make visible the unseen life of words: the breath that builds worlds.
