My interdisciplinary practice investigates the social and linguistic constructs that shape identity, history, and collective memory in the United States.
Message“Shadow Docket” confronts the hidden power of the Supreme Court. The term refers to rulings issued outside the Court’s normal process—unsigned, unexplained, yet with sweeping impact. Each pair of white gloves stands for a justice, anonymous and detached, while the empty black robe looms as authority without accountability. The wallpaper backdrops hint at how these secretive rulings infiltrate daily life, shaping democracy from the shadows.
