Where perspective shapes the story.
I was born in a country shaped by war, where silence wasn't always peace and stories weren't always ours to tell. When my family immigrated to Canada, I didn’t yet speak the language, but I found meaning in other forms. In gesture, image, and expression. I learned early that stories don’t begin with language—they begin with what is felt.
In a quiet bookstore down the street, I’d sit for hours tracing the panels of graphic novels, absorbing the rhythm of storytelling told through shape and shadow, through what was shown and what was left unsaid. I couldn’t speak fluently yet, but I could feel. I could understand. And I knew—even then—that stories had the power to move, to reveal, to restore.
That’s where it began: my lifelong love for storytelling.
Over time, I found my voice—in English, and in art. I became captivated by the way we communicate identity and emotion across mediums: the tone of a caption, the restraint of negative space, the feeling a photo leaves behind. To me, storytelling isn't just creative—it’s a way to define truth in our own words, after generations of having it rewritten.
My name is Alma—it means soul.
