This is a piece about facing the re-emerging echoes between childhood and adulthood. The house sculptures reference an early memory I have of my mother's wishes during a pivotal moment in our family’s split. When she untangled the reasoning, she shared a poignant hope: that, despite the separation, we could all live in open houses placed directly next to one another.

Together, the two house sculptures constitute bodies physically separating after a period of deep synchronicity and union. This spewing of sewn organ-like creatures are represented in this body whose rhythms and flows are disrupted. They are both a literal and metaphorical representation of how grief can feel like an invasive, bodily experience—where you are forced to confront and rearrange parts of yourself, as if the very core of your being has been uprooted.

The analog film Beat, is hand-animated including a combination of physical writings and drawings from this period of derangement. The organ on display is being wrenched and pulled into different positions.

The hand-sewn tapestry Duet in the Dark captures the fleeting elegance of a betraying love affair through three stars. Their prancing nature suggests a silent dance, one marked by deception and separation, as they drift further into the darkness. The hand-stitched forms convey the quiet, subtle rupture of trust, leaving behind a fragile lingering resonance. The piece sings to the dissonance of betrayal, and to the echoes of a union that once thrived in harmony, now unravelling.

"Reflection" continues the narrative of Duet in the Dark, representing rumination. In this hand-sewn piece, the moon watches over three stars casting a still, reflective, gaze.
