Since Birth, 2023 (Created with the Mediterranean in the South of France)

One of the first pieces of works in the ‘Ancestral Glitch’ series, this piece shows a body centered with a wolf head. Inside their stomach is a deformed face. This ancestry is in between transformation from human and animal. This piece connects us to the stories of transformation that are found in many of our cultures. Many indigenous communities hold stories of transformation, where animals and humans can shapeshift. This piece acts as a reminder that these stories are carried with us since birth. Like deja vu, it can feel like these stories have been told to us for generations. We feel them in our veins. So since birth, we have felt the transformations and experiences of the eagle, the salmon, and the salal plants. We know their stories. We know their truths. We just need to re-remember. It is not about learning culture, it is about re-remembering a part of us that the systems around us tried to destroy.

Question for Exploration: What are the stories that are culturally significant to us? How can we sit with those stories and explore how the teachings can impact our lives today? What ways can we re-remember the teachings that we were once connected to?

Cyber Terrain, 2024 (Created with the Mediterranean in the South of France)

In the center of this piece is a woman figure with the head of a robotic raven. From all limbs, branches appear to be pulling the creature apart. This piece encourages us to imagine a future where tribal cultures, technology, and land come together. As we imagine our future, how can we recognize the role that technology will be playing in our lives? How can these elements come together in harmony?

Question of Exploration: With the technological advancements we see and can anticipate, how do we prioritize the land and spiritual relationships to weave within this? Rather than dividing technology from spirituality, how do we see these two forces as allies rather than enemies?

Decolonial love, 2021 (Created with lək̓ʷəŋən Lands)

This piece is the inspiration that led to the creation of the ‘Kiss for Freedom’ series of artworks. “Decolonial Love” shows two women gazing towards one another. With vibrant contrasting colors and green waves extending outside, this piece demonstrates the merging of two worlds. It was created to act as a reminder to embrace decolonial love… the love that lets our ancestors kiss our cheeks, the love that lets our families see the real us, the love that extends beyond a gender binary, and the love that we have for ourselves.

Question for Exploration: How does this artwork invite us to reflect on the concept of decolonial love and its transformative power in reshaping relationships and identities?

Protectors of the Womb, 2023 (Created with the mountains of Northern Morocco)

We are taught to conquer our bodies, to view them as territories to be controlled rather than cherished. We are conditioned to control, belittle, and constantly question our bodies, fostering a sense of detachment. This commodification of our bodies turns them into objects to be manipulated and perfected according to external standards. With every ailment our bodies endure, we see vilify our bodies rather than offer nurturance. In doing so, it forces us to colonize our own bodies, stripping away our natural connection and inherent respect for ourselves.

For some people, bears represent the protectors of children. I call on bears to protect me at my core. I ask the bears not to protect me from my body, but protect my body from colonial ways of thinking. I ask for this protection in my womb to remember that how I learn to relate with my body does not just impact just me- it impacts the generations to come after.

Question of Exploration: What messaging are we receiving about how we should view our bodies? If our bodies were seen as our kin, what would be different?

Take me to my Kin, 2023 (Created with the Mediterranean in the South of France)

In this painting, two figures are intertwined with one another in a tender embrace. Their hair transforms into the flowing rivers below them, while a backdrop of swirling and dynamic patterns unfold around them. While loving, their relationship to one another remains unclear. Like many perspectives on love, we unconsciously categorize every relationship. This piece expands love into all crevasse of our lives. It reminds us to feel rather than to analyze. It reminds us to redefine platonic and romantic love. It demands us to embrace all of those around us, without attempting to enforce social rules on the ways we love.
Question for Exploration: How can we encourage our circles to recognize and celebrate platonic love alongside romantic relationships? How can we practice love more freely, rather than claim love with only one person? How does communication play a role in the ways we expand our views of love?

Weaving, 2022 (Created with lək̓ʷəŋən Lands)

“Weaving” explores love within the context of ancestral and land-based relationships. Two figures wrap themselves around each other while bringing together the skyworld and the waterways. When thinking about decolonial love, we think of how this relates to our relationships with other humans. This piece was created when I was in a period of reflection, trying to identify how I define sexuality and love. This reflection led to the realization that our ability to love, and those we choose to love, can be mirrored to us from the natural world. Our plant, sky, and animal kin all continue to role-model the ways we can love, as well as free us from gendered views of loving. With that, there is a responsibility for stewardship- to ourselves, to our communities, and to the land. We can become stewards to our hearts, letting it love authentically and vulnerably.

Question for Exploration: How do land based kin inspire us to love? If we could learn a lesson about love from the land, what would it be?

Desert Raven, 2022 (Created with Wadi Rum, Jordan)

This piece represents the connection between the femininity that I see in Jordan and my ancestral lands in Turtle Island. Here, a woman sits in a teacup bathing herself while wearing a Raven mask to see perspectives beyond this world. As she washes herself, she is given time to reflect, pause, and re-remember the root to her culture. Culture is inside her. The desert sky above her melts into the mountains as the stars electrify her body.

Question of Exploration: What does it mean to walk as a good guest in unfamiliar lands and to merge the lessons of the lands you know as home, with the lessons of the lands that you are creating home within?

Puzzled, 2022 (Created with the Castle of La Napoule, South France)

This piece explores a different perspective on decolonial love, reflecting on the ways that knowledge systems can be shaped by our relationships. Knowledge is not given. It is earned when appropriate. Teachings are given to us when we are ready to receive this information. So, this piece explores concepts of learning from a cultural lens by demonstrating that no learning can happen in isolation. We cannot see the world clearly until we are in connection with others. Learning does not happen in isolation, but through connection. At its core, no learning can happen without relationships with others.

Question for Exploration: How is knowledge given and understood in a cultural context? How can we shift our views to see knowledge sharing as a form of love?

This Body is Not Mine (Created with lək̓ʷəŋən Lands)

This piece of work is one that I have continuously returned to since first starting it at the age of 17. It has become a culmination of the ways that I relate with my body. A woman layered with colors stands in the center, as she runs her fingers through her hair. She effortlessly blends into the skyworld. Throughout my life, I come back to this artwork with new perspectives of the power my body holds- all of the stories, the love, the sky above me and the roots beneath me. Through this work, I began to feel the cedar in my bones, the rivers in my blood, and the stars in my hair. This body is not mine. It never has been. It is the spirit of the world around me with etchings of the lineages that pathed a way for me.

Question of Exploration: How do we learn to love our bodies and recognize the generations that have loved bodies like our own? What stories do our bodies tell?

Sacred Rage, 2022 (Created with Muğla, Türkiye)

Inspired by the sea and mountains of Kabak Beach in Türkiye, this piece shares the story of femininity that is tied in our connection with the landscapes around us. It honors the intuition, the discernment, the fire, and the fluidity that femininity can hold. The feminine spirit carries more than just nurturance (as it's often associated with). It carries with it both fire and fury. What this spirit teaches us is that we can hold these fires with love, care, and flexibility. In a world with misunderstood anger, femininity teaches us that we can be untamed and angry, while also carrying the grace and gentleness that is generations old.

Question of Exploration:
When redefining femininity, how do we carry the values passed forward by our family, the wisdom shared with us of the land, and actively restructure the ways we view anger? How can we all love and take care of the sacred rage that is within us?
