I make documentary films, write poetry, and write fiction. The sensibility across all three is the same — a sustained attention to the textures of ordinary life, and the belief that the most important things are usually happening just below the surface of the visible.
"I am interested in the space between what is said and what is meant — in systems, in people, and in the stories we tell about both."
The same sensibility that drives the research and the product work drives the creative work. Attention. Observation. The refusal to take the surface reading at face value.
The poems live at the intersection of observation and argument — they notice something specific and then refuse to let it stay small. Themes move across identity, displacement, systems, and the texture of daily life in transit.
A note on the poem's context, occasion, or the question it was trying to answer will appear here. The note is optional — only when context genuinely opens the poem rather than closing it.
The fiction tends toward the short form — stories that arrive at their meaning sideways. Characters who are inside systems they didn't design, making small decisions with large consequences. The ordinary under pressure.
Across film, poetry, and fiction — the method is the same. Sustained, patient attention to what is actually happening, rather than what is supposed to be happening. The gap between those two things is where the work lives. It is the same gap that drives the research on AI and epistemic identity. It is the same gap that made DormDrop possible.
Growing up between Ghana and Central Europe. The experience of being inside and outside simultaneously — neither fully a local nor fully a stranger. The way academic training teaches you to read systems. The way documentary film teaches you to listen. These are not separate things.
The creative work is not a hobby alongside the professional and academic work. It is the same sensibility expressed in a different register. The philosopher who makes films. The founder who writes poems. The product owner who writes fiction about people inside systems. One person, many lenses.
