Admiring all things creative and abstract, I am excited to explore and write about young artists in Paris, a city that attracts and welcomes talented individuals from all over the globe. While diverse in backgrounds and perspectives, there is something that they all share: it is the love for the act of creation. A film and philosophy double major, and a creative writing minor, I’ve always had endless appreciation for art, in all its various forms and shapes. Joining DÉPAYSANTS, I can’t wait to share the voices of creative people across different art mediums and capture them through my writing: this will be my love letter to two things so dear to my heart, Paris and Art.
