Although she goes to school in Toronto, Vicky lives in the city’s suburbs meaning when friends come over its more of a treat. Those who do visit will see that Vicky’s room is an alcove for art—markers, pens, brushes scattering the space. To Vicky, paper is more distracting than a computer, which is completely apparent as she flips through one of her many sketchbooks or random scraps of paper that she’s doodled on. One particular page is covered with images of a project she did on aliases—she picked Tyler Durden, Brad Pitt’s character in Fight Club whose identity she later emulated when she cut her hair short. As a first-generation Canadian in a family of Iraqis, Vicky also says her room is a place where she can feel like herself, without worrying about how to navigate either culture. Check out Vicky and her room above!
