What am I? 

​

I am a bunch of molecules that form a homogenous mass. No, there is more to it. I can think and create. I am not just a piece of hairy mass that roams across this world. 

​

I have an identity. Many in fact. If you were to put dots on all my places of cultural belonging and connect the dots, even the cleverest statistical shape analysts won't be able to define the shape they form. Because, after all, I possess an identity that is hard to define and place. My dots will forever increase and will obfuscate my shape. 

​

On a less philosophical note, I am a lecturer and an audiovisual essayist, who is a strong proponent of the transformational, educational, and entertaining potential that the audiovisual medium and other general media encompass. I aim to transfer my vision through various channels; one of them being education and the other through the audivisual medium itself. The former is realised through my position as a lecturer at Inholland University of Applied Sciences and the latter through the audiovisual essays I create. Furthermore, the conglomerate of identities I possess, extending from American to Lebanese and Armenian, has led me to develop a critical and international oriented outlook. This critical reflection allows me to profoundly analyze, decipher, and penetrate films, theoretical texts, and reality beyond their initial level or content, in order to form new, mainly theoretical, concepts and media objects.
