In my practice, I explore the interconnection between the body, the home, and nature, treating them as interchangeable, symbolic stand-ins for one another. This throughline allows me to reflect on the continuous hostility impressed upon all three elements. As Western power clings to dominance over the Global South, as marginalized communities are stripped of autonomy, and as the climate crisis rages on, my work persists as a poetic, emotional, and bodily response.
 

I create assemblage sculptures and kinetic installations that incorporate video, sound, performance, and found materials. Much of the material I use comes from construction sites, emergency contexts, or are remnants of various exploitative industries. I assemble and orchestrate these materials by playing with their intended function and focus on their relationship to labor: pallets don't carry a heavy load, windows are removed from walls, and Styrofoam breathes on in perpetuity.

 

My work often includes video projections of performance documentation, portraying Sisyphean scenes of futile, repetitive acts. These performances are staged with care, using deliberately chosen materials and tools, but the actions themselves are discovered through experimentation and multiple takes. By allowing space for spontaneity in both my assemblages and performances, I invite viewers into an immersive encounter that stirs curiosity, evokes surprise, and leads to meaningful discovery.
 

Working across the interconnected layers of our existence, the body, the home, and earth, I aim to provoke reflection on the state of our collective well-being and the colonial and industrial systems that have led us into crisis and collapse.
