We Were Never That Different

This piece reflects on how, beneath laws, whispers, and stares, we are all the same—flesh, blood, fragile bones, living, aching, human. Drawing from my family’s journey, it honors resilience while revealing the quiet divisions that try to keep us apart. It is a call to remember our shared humanity, to feel connection where fear, prejudice, and exclusion seek to separate us, and to imagine a world where unity is not forgotten. I hope we can come together as one, listening through the noise, seeing each other’s struggles, and recognizing the strength in our shared experience. Through this work, I hope viewers witness the power in survival, the beauty in connection, and the possibility of a future where belonging, dignity, and compassion are not privileges, but rights for everyone.

Creativity is turning thought and experience into something others can feel. It is giving voice to what is often unseen, shaping stories and emotions into words that connect us. It is taking life in all its struggles and truths and transforming it into something real, powerful, and shared.
