Welcome to Palms Upward—art should never sit quietly, and neither should you.

I am Ociola: poet, satirist, storyteller, and visual experimenter. Curiosity is where the work begins, then I follow it into the absurd, the tender, the political, the sacred, and the unsettling. You can find me devouring horror films or spending time with my thoughts.
