My interdisciplinary practice investigates the social and linguistic constructs that shape identity, history, and collective memory in the United States.
MessageDecisions and Revisions presents a restrained surface of layered paper, meticulously patched and taped, interrupted only by a fringe of tangled wire along the edge. The clean geometry contrasts with the unruly metallic forms, echoing the tension between order and disruption. Referencing T.S. Eliot’s poetic phrase, the work suggests that every correction carries a trace of its past. Here, revision is not erasure, but accumulation—each decision visible, each alteration a record of becoming.
