Dialogical Persona: Self-Portraits on Becoming Who You Are is a public studio space for experimenting with identity, meaning and self-expression. Writing from inside the process of becoming—where life, art, culture and self-inquiry meet.

This studio is rooted in experimentation. I’m not here to present a final version of myself or a polished philosophy. At the heart of this space is the belief that the self is not a fixed identity, but a living conversation. We become who we are through dialogue: with our bodies, our memories, our inner voices, the people we love and resist, the stories we inherit and continue to give power to, and the cultural moment we’re living in.

If you’re reading this, then you’re already part of the conversation! This is a space for holding self-expression as a relational act. You’re welcome to respond, to disagree, to present your own questions, to creatively explore with me, or simply witness what transpires. There is no correct way to be here—it is a living studio space.

And in this studio, we’ll use art, writing, self-reflection and self-inquiry as materials for growth and personal development. However, this is not a space for self-improvement or performative movements that lack true authenticity. There is no ideal version of the self we’re working towards. What we are practicing is how to stay in relationship with ourselves as we change: how to notice shape, texture, resistance, desire, color, energy, metaphor and all of our multifaceted layers.
