The road will tell you.
Hello, I am Sepa Sama, an artist and photographer with a Doctor of Arts, focusing on walking as artistic research. My childhood dream was to become a poet, which has deeply influenced my creative journey. I studied architecture at Sci-Arc and art and urban design at UCLA. My work integrates architecture, art, and the environment, utilizing transdisciplinary methods to explore cultural and urban landscapes across Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Australia.Photo: Janno Bergmann
