Sway Kun, born in Boston in 1990, but raised outside of America since the age of 3-6, has a collection of cherished memories from his early years in Malaysia. From ages 6 to 19, he resided in his homeland, Jerusalem, Palestine, before eventually relocating to the United States. In Palestine, he experienced being seen as the "American," whereas in America, he identifies as Palestinian, always feeling like an outsider throughout his life.
The journey of self-discovery for Sway Kun has been life-long, with the quest to find self-love and the true meaning of home as central themes. Under the restrictive structure of his father, he was never allowed to explore any forms of art during his formative years. However, in his 20s, when he moved out and gained freedom, he began to embrace various art forms, and it has become an integral part of who he is today.
His path has been grueling yet equally fascinating, filled with experiments and learning, which he hopes to share with the world to inspire others on their own creative journeys.
