My current work is an investigation of symbols and narratives that are associated with the “American story.” I’ve had to unlearn much of what I was told about the history of my country and been compelled to examine the ways in which I unconsciously participate in colonialism and the perpetuation of American exceptionalism. Through highly personal material choices, I hope to convey the persistence of these narratives in my past, as I work towards a more expansive understanding of how they’re shaping the present.
