In Trinidad and Tobago, each of our coins bears two distinct sides: one side shows the national Coat of Arms—what we commonly call “birds”—while the other side is dominated by the coin’s value—“numbers.” 

Birds or Numbers is a blog born out of engaging the tension of opposing forces that coexist within the two sides of the same coin. It's where I explore the dualities within myself, shaped by my foundation in science and engineering, and my professional journey through manufacturing—now intersecting with my becoming as an artist.Through this lens, I reflect on how discipline, production, and tolerance operate differently across fields, and how those differences inform the way I think, work, and live.

This blog is a space to share that becoming. From measurable outputs to meaningful expressions. From manufacturing value to creating it. I use Birds or Numbers to document how these opposing worlds aren’t at war, but in conversation. And how, in embracing both, I’m finding a rhythm that’s wholly my own.
