Welcome To Living Archives & Theoretical Landscapes
Here, I invite you to explore my published artist books, autoethnographic manuscripts, and ongoing research archives. Beyond the canvas, this theoretical practice treats language not as a static system, but as an energetic trace, a tactile landscape, and a pedagogical compass for self-authorship.
Spanning a decade of sociopolitical field inquiries, nomadic survival across twenty temporary homes, and the visual reconstruction of oral Amazigh mythologies, each publication turns complex research frameworks into physical, accessible works.
Culture Effects
Autoethnographic Research Across Language & Borderlands
Mapping Field Research, Sociopolitical Inquiry & Linguistic Transits
Synthesizing ten years of autoethnographic inquiry, Culture Effects interrogates how cultural systems, institutional language, and geopolitical borders condition human behavior. Moving between academic theory and visceral field observations, this publication documents the subtle mechanisms of social engineering, identity formation, and cultural survival. It serves as a foundational theoretical compass for my entire artistic practice—bridging written research with physical interventions.
Tracking nervous system regulation across temporary homes
Created during an intense period of nomadic transit, Grounding documents the physical, psychological, and sensory realities of living across twenty temporary residences. Through photo-assemblage, fragmented studio journal entries, and spatial mapping, the book unpacks how we maintain internal equilibrium when external structures dissolve. It is both a survival manual for spatial disorientation and a quiet meditation on finding home within the self.
Fables from the Atlas Mountains
Reconstructing Indigenous Amazigh Orality, Myth & Visual Pedagogy
Translating ancient oral mythologies into contemporary visual compasses
Currently in development, Fables from the Atlas Mountains bridges ancestral Amazigh heritage, oral storytelling, and contemporary pedagogical world-building. Re-contextualizing indigenous symbols, mountain landscapes, and sacred geometries, this publication transforms traditional fables into interactive visual tools for reflection and intergenerational dialogue. It reclaims historical memory as a living, evolving blueprint for modern self-authorship.
