Kim Awa is an interdisciplinary scientist and artist currently based in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Originally with a background in editorial design and photography, her visual work is a continuation on feelings of disconnectedness and sense of presence to the landscapes that surround us. Peripherally, her literary work explores the bounds of philosophical aesthetics and cognitive neuroscience, specifically through the lens of creative identity and states of metacognition during the creative process.
