A memory cloud on a black background. It contains images from the character's memories.

The Architecture of Silence: I am developing a PhD exploring memory, migration, and silence. The project examines how migrant characters from countries with contested histories navigate the pressure to explain themselves, and asks whether refusing to do so can be an act of agency rather than avoidance or complicity.
