My interdisciplinary practice interrogates lens-based media, language systems, and the built environment, often complicating boundaries around studio research, performance, and socially engaged practice. My work is primarily a conceptual entanglement, with the idea dictating the material, whether digital or haptic. I experiment with and deconstruct the binaries of the ephemeral and tangible, physical and metaphysical, political and poetic. By embracing themes that need to be unpacked, such as the intersection of race, class, religion, and popular culture, I aim to create critical discourse around issues of equity, representation, justice, and the dismantling of systemic oppression. Context is a crucial factor that not only informs the work but often becomes an active collaborator in determining its content and structure. The nucleus of my research is a mindful practice of finding intimacy in the quotidian and creating wonder around all things large and small.
