"In the shadows of life, I create with words, stories that capture the life which exists at the fringes of reality. Poetic rhythm mixed with startling visualisations, garnished with raw truth, my work is an amalgam of the real and the unreal. I exist in your reality through the vibrancy of my imagination. Although I live in Toronto, Canada, I am everywhere, in everything, encapsulating every experience" - Jude Idada, Toronto, Canada.
