At Home
The artist embodies the house as his corporeal form, in a lineage following the scholarly assertion of the house as a potent psychoanalytic symbol for projecting the human body and consciousness. The result is an externalized search for a sense of security at the outset of a world newly shaken by the global Covid-19 pandemic, where nebulous anxieties about the world and personal health overlap. Exploring comfort, control, and isolation through performative theatricality, the work becomes a text for understanding and coping with the unfolding social and political uncertainty of the 21st century.

See Make
This is a short experiment on ideation and embodiment as a trans person. Faced with a physical body that’s incompatible with the way I see myself, I can use motion tracking technology to reclaim the way I’m represented and re-create myself in an imagined ideal image. Prominent male figures—including Freddy Mercury, Zayn Malik, my father—form the features of my patchwork face.

Look out the window still, but now you're at the beach
Starting from an exploratory 1st-person POV constrained by the screen of a video call, the film subverts the visible and enforced boundaries of online infrastructures. Investigating glitch, virtual reality, and the uncanny experience of traversing built digital environments, the film opens a conversation about technology as a mediator for human connection.
