In the multi-year video installation Invasive Thoughts, the Burmese python’s presence in the Florida Everglades serves as a crucible for exploring the moral, scientific, and spiritual complexities of ecological management. By framing the local python debate as a contemporary myth, the work weaves together the perspectives of conservation biologists, reptile hobbyists, and animal welfare scientists. Through this tapestry of expert testimony and ancient narrative, Invasive Thoughts challenges viewers to confront the paradox of "violence as an act of care." It raises urgent questions about the hierarchy of life: which species do we choose to protect, which do we eliminate, and whose knowledge do we trust to justify the cull?
