Most of us learn to understand ourselves through words—roles, traits, stories, diagnoses, histories. These tools are useful. They help us communicate, plan, and make sense of our lives. But they also come with a hidden cost.

Words are not experience. By definition, they are abstract representations of experience.

My work explores what happens when we mistake language for reality—when we treat descriptions of ourselves and the world as if they were the thing itself. This confusion sits quietly beneath much psychological distress and existential questioning. It shapes how we answer questions like Who am I? and What is real?—often without realizing that the answers themselves are part of the problem.

This site is an invitation to look more closely at the difference between knowing about life and being alive, between conceptual identity and experiential identity, and between thinking about reality and directly experiencing it.
