This blog originally started with essays about music. I used to write about the sacred connections between sound, justice, and divinity while studying at Juilliard Pre-College. These days, I explore the intersections of memory, literature, and history through video-essays on YouTube. My work often begins with personal reflection and then expands outward into global questions.

​​

Even though the subject has changed, I still think of writing as a lot like music, and these essays as mini symphonies. Ultimately, they are expressions of exploding curiosity, reaching into both personal and global realms. I try to make them feel both intimate and layered, tracing human perspectives built carefully from the inside out.
