My art practice challenges social and linguistic constructs in the United States through precisely crafted artworks organized into collections.
MessageGender is not a Noun questions whether the dismantling of gender binaries is truly so terrifying, so destabilizing, that it must be declared impossible, barring anyone from discovering identity beyond the rigid constructs of masculine and feminine. Encased beneath glass, the female figure clings to the male figure as if to preserve certainty, holding on for dear life. This desperate grip evokes not intimacy but violence—the insistence on preserving binaries at any cost, even as the material reality of gender slips through our hands.
