Portal to the Dark Fire
This portal is for rage that demands justice. For grief that refuses silence. Here, anger and resistance become art—raw, political, and necessary.
Why this work matters:
Because oppression thrives in silence. Because survival requires fire. Because we rise together.

Refusing Silence
Photographic Documentation | Protest and Public Art
Multiple Sites
2024–Ongoing
Digital Photography
This series documents protests in support of Gaza alongside activist murals responding to the same call for justice. The work bears witness to collective refusal—bodies gathered, signs raised, walls marked.
At a time when children are being killed and populations displaced, neutrality is complicity. These images do not seek spectacle. They document insistence.

Unsmiling
Paintings and Mixed Media
2023–Ongoing
Unsmiling is a growing body of work rooted in feminine rage and historical memory. Anchored by Salem, the work traces the long arc of women punished for autonomy.
Surrounding works reject politeness entirely:
Am I Smiling Now? confronts entitlement to women’s bodies.
Women Will Always Sing responds to Afghanistan with defiant truth.
Recent graffiti-style works created for the UN’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence abandon metaphor altogether.
Anger here is intelligence.
Rage is lineage.

Refusal as Form
Photographic Documentation | Protest and Public Art
Multiple Sites
2024–Ongoing
Digital Photography
No to dictators, demagogues, cults of personality, and systems built on extraction and obedience. Protest signs—handmade, direct, unapologetic—are treated as intentional visual language.
Refusal is not reaction.
It is authorship.
This series will continue to expand, tracking how patriarchal power collapses under its own absurdity.

Ignored Residual
Photography | Shadow Studies
Multiple Sites
2023-Ongoing
Digital Photography
Ignored Residual examines shadows—forms created by presence yet denied recognition. These images speak to labour, grief, and insight that are relied upon and then erased.
Shadows are evidence.
They prove something stood there.
This work confronts disappearance—not as absence, but as what remains after erasure.
