My artwork also draws inspiration from the numbers on my identity document. Unfortunately, I have been waiting for years to receive my own identity document, and it remains "in process." Throughout this journey, I have encountered countless individuals facing the same predicament—people without identities, without numbers. This personal struggle and the shared experiences of others have motivated me to create art that delves into the notions of identity and a sense of belonging.
Through my artwork, I aim to shed light on these important themes and spark conversations about the significance of our identities and the impact of transitions and displacement. I invite viewers to reflect on their own journeys, to question what it means to belong, and to recognize the power of art in bringing awareness to societal issues.
