I wish to acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Toronto is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and I am grateful to live and create on this land, which has been a place of gathering, creating, and sharing for thousands of years. I also honour my heritage, deeply rooted in the resilience of Polish and Ukrainian culture, drawing inspiration from both to influence my creative work and daily life.
