From my perspective , I don't see a clear line between my non-fiction and my fiction. The stories I tell, whether they're poems or narratives, aren't just for entertainment. They're a way for me to grapple with the fears and concerns that fill my thoughts every day.I use fiction as a tool for social and political commentary. When I write, I'm not just inventing a new world; I'm building a distorted mirror of our own. The characters and plots are a way to take the trends I see in reality—the decline of reason, the rise of political extremism—and push them to their logical, and often terrifying, conclusion.
For me, fiction is a cautionary tale. It's a way of saying, "If we continue down this path, this is where we'll end up." The dystopian landscapes and disillusioned characters I create are a more visceral and emotional way to explore my philosophical concerns than an essay could ever be. I want the reader to feel the weight of these ideas, not just think about them. The goal is to make the philosophical tangible, and the political personal.
