زبان(Zaabaan)- in Urdu means tongue. Growing up with the dual identity of being Pakistani-American, I struggled with speaking whether it be accents, switching languages, or just trying to speak in general. A lot of what I said was its own gibberish in a way which even after so many years, I still find myself coming back to.

This piece embodies and addresses that aspect of my speech. Spiraling away from me in it’s own meaningless way.
