RESEARCH
My research explores how we become who we are—and how the act of recording a life also transforms the self that is being recorded.
I study what I call the transversal subject: the contemporary self that refuses to settle within a single language, medium, or material form.
Rather than treating identity as stable or complete, I am interested in the ways it is continually written, negotiated, and reconfigured through acts of (self-)inscription.
I trace this subject through hybrid and liminal forms—autotheory, autofiction, the lyric essay, and transmedial artistic practices—where the boundaries between genres, disciplines, and identities become porous. My work moves across three interconnected planes: the translingual, between languages; the transmedial, between page, screen, image, and performance; and the transmaterial, between text, body, and the material objects that carry them.
These forms do more than represent experience. They participate in its making. They become sites where migration, marginality, embodiment, and multiple belonging are not simply described but enacted.
Alongside theoretical inquiry, my research includes artistic practice. My own experiments in writing and (self-)inscription function as a form of artistic research, allowing creative practice and critical reflection to inform one another.
