My interdisciplinary practice investigates the social and linguistic constructs that shape identity, history, and collective memory in the United States.
MessageDialogue consists of five illuminated columns clad in layered paper over wood, their minimalist forms recalling architectural structures in silent exchange. The patchworked paper surface—wrinkled, stained, and repaired—bears traces of time and touch. Light emanates from each base, revealing a shared foundation and hinting at interior life. These columns speak not in words, but through repetition, proximity, and the quiet language of material memory, surface tension, and layered histories.
