This is where Ayzoh!’s work unfolds in real time: from remote expeditions to exhibitions, field stories to visual experiments, partnerships to quiet reflections. No agenda. No polish. Just a living archive of how — and why — we do what we do. Whether you’re a supporter, a future workshop participant, a collector, or someone stumbling in with curiosity, welcome. This space is open, raw, and always grounded. And like all good fieldwork — it’s in progress.

Learning from Vulnerability

I wrote this during the long return from Camp Erech — to hold together fragments, emotions, and questions that still echo through my days. I wasn’t sure I would share it. But the desert has a way of continuing to speak, even after you leave it behind....
