It is a mental state to be able to break free from patterns and expectations.

They have become mental boundaries, because people tend to stick to the spaces that they were allocated. They still don't leave; I think most people might not appreciate how difficult it is to exit.

I always try to look at the work from my perspective and keep it about me.

I was looking really at identity and asking is it possible to be yourself in every situation.

It shows up more as the conflict, the internal struggle.

I sometimes say that creating artworks for me is almost having a conversation with my soul.

That’s what I loved about linoleum floors – they’re almost personal documents capturing experience. Not factual research; I never interviewed the families. I wanted space for my own imagination without taking their stories.

I’m Muslim, but I also identify as being homosexual which is very conflicting.

I don’t want to sit with the same issue; I definitely want to grow. But for now I am having fun with where I’m at.

I had no clue, even, that I could make a living off this.
