Abstract

The primary inspiration of my work is nature. The primordial, shifting forces that drive us, cling to us and compress us. Society and civilization are futile attempts to quell the forces we can never conquer and often can barely even explain. Creature explores a fossilization of the end of society. It journeys through the stages of a body: reflecting on a time of conformity, enduring a metamorphosis and envisioning a persistent legacy. As mind moves through time, the material self degrades into increasingly natural elements: brick turns to rock turns to clay.

Author Biography

I am an undergraduate student from Jamestown, Ghana studying Medical and Molecular Biology, with a deep interest in the intersections of nature, culture, and memory. Having grown up in a multicultural environment shaped by both community and landscape, my work reflects my fascination with the primordial and social forces that shape our bodies and identities. Outside of writing, I am a passionate activist, a critical scientist, a decolonial thinker and a proud Whovian!
