Dust poems bring together the tactile and the transient. Using clay sourced from various United States landscapes, I print my reflections through a series of poems on paper. Each poem maps my personal navigation and evolving connections to the places I have lived or journeyed through as a traveler and an immigrant. Initiated in 2022, this project currently includes 22 poems. eight of these have been selected for printing with clay. This collection is not only a physical representation of landscapes but also a meditation on place and belonging.
