In my practice, I explore the interconnected relationship between body, 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 extractive industries. I orchestrate these materials by playing with their intended function but focus on their relationship to labor: pallets don't carry a heavy load, windows are removed from walls, and Styrofoam breathes on in perpetuity. 


A significant aspect of my work is performance. As information and world events are most often encountered through screens, like phones, tablets, and televisions, the viewing of my performances are designed to be technologically mediated rather than consumed in real time. The performances occur at chosen locations and under specific weather conditions. The actions themselves are repetitive and Sisyphean which expose futility while affirming resilience. 


Working across the interconnected layers of our existence, body, 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.
