Throughout my creative journey, I've often reflected on how my work represents me and is shaped by my cultural background and life experiences.

Etebt, an Amharic term, refers to the umbilical cord—the essence of where you come from and who you are. With this project, I aim to capture people working in different creative mediums and understand what inspires and drives their creations. It's a mixed-media project where I'll compile video and audio interviews of these creatives, along with portraits I've taken or edited.
