Make war, not art, for art should be dangerous. Art should riot. Art should refuse. Art should be a thorn in the imperial propaganda machine. Art should love radically, and through that love, show what humanity looks like in a world made just.

All oppression is one machine.
Crush one gear, the whole system groans.
Ecology. Race. Gender. Borders. Class.
Rip the threads. Tear the veil. Expose it all.

I make weapons out of beauty.
Film, performance, installations that don’t ask, they demand.
I don't create to soothe. I create to shake, break, and breathe new life.

My joy and rage coexist.
I plant gardens with one hand and raise the other in resistance.
Both are necessary. Both are art.
