I am intrigued by the study of bodies, social performance, and transgression. What does it mean to be a person, and how does one reckon with the constraints and liberties? Is it truly possible to find liberation within socially constructed structures? How do subconscious ideologies operate behind conscious decisions? In my novels I often establish characters who are disillusioned, frustrated, or desperate to create their own path. Inspired by writers like JD Salinger, Bret Easton Ellis, and Han Kang, I aim to discover what it means to live outside of the expected methods of conduct. My fiction also explores creative passion and artistry, incorporating music and art motifs. On the side, I write semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical vignettes that I pass off as short stories. My music journalism usually covers electronic and hyperpop music. As of now, my goal is to keep writing and pursue a graduate degree to one day become a professor. In 2026, I created the Art House anthology, a biannual compilation of prose and poetry written by people in my online community.
