Piece by Peace is an installation that reflects my journey into embracing my calling as an artist-philosopher. While I struggled to articulate the complex emotions and thoughts I experienced in creating this work, I found it difficult to explain the internal conflict I was navigating. As I worked to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that would reveal what it meant for me to collaborate with marginalized communities, I found myself feeling overwhelmed. Unable to express in words the significance of bringing people together through our shared experiences, I realized that, regardless of language, origin, or socio-economic status, we are all on this journey of life together. In the end, I found peace by showing up authentically and allowing the spirit to guide me, letting go of the need to have it all figured out.
