Stories of fragments. Fragments of stories.
“You are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot – it’s all there.”
Glad you made it here
I’ve often wondered why, no matter where I am, I always feel slightly of out of place, fragmented, constantly looking for something — else, finding myself unable to make the world around me intelligible.
That dissonance tends to soften through storytelling, and story-listening. I find solace in the stories I tell, the photos I capture, the work I create, not for what they are alone but for the reflections they offer of other people’s words, photos, and work.
mosaic narratives is a space where these fragments of stories, of lives, come together, forming something greater than their parts.

My stories are a multitude of reflections of who I am, what I see, and what I would like the world to be — a reality imagined through words. My words take the form of personal essays, creative non-fiction, poetry, weaving my worlds together into undefined genres.

“Work is love made visible,” said Khalil Gibran. I’ve come across some beautiful work experiences, mostly at the United Nations, which have given me a sense of deep commitment to our world and its - flawed - organization.
