My process is an active negotiation with failure—working with the tension of material collapse and imperfection.
I salvage "worthless" remnants—foam, wire, and fabric—that reflect an internalized feeling of being "stupid, ugly, and boring."
I push these ordinary, lifeless materials until they become something valid, proving that even the most graceless things have an authority in being "vulgar" and overlooked.
A significant portion of my work exists as site-specific performance documentation. These "wearable" sculptures are not garments, but materialized burdens designed to be activated with the human form.
UNTITLED (Fat Balls) Environmental Documentation #4, 2026. Archival pigment print. A site-specific activation in a DTLA alleyway. The sculpture acts as a manifestation of a massive, bulbous burden that the dancer must literally drag through the space. It’s not protecting her; it’s anchoring her within the industrial grid of the urban landscape.
