My practice moves through making as a way to absorb, reflect, and speculate. Found materials, research, memory, and fiction interweave in my work to explore themes of spatial permeability and nonbinary/fluid identities. I am drawn to sites where edges blur—between land and water, remembering and forgetting, presence and absence.
Estuarine and amphibious geographies recur throughout my practice, not only as ecological zones but as metaphors for hybrid identities, porous boundaries, and entangled histories. These landscapes offer a lens through which to consider colonial residues, ecological precarity, and inherited remembrance.
I often work across image, text, and installation—bringing together fragments that carry personal, ecological, or historical undercurrents. Materials from my surroundings act as vessels of time and transformation. I’m interested in how these materials carry embedded histories—of human gestures, elemental forces, and entangled relations—that surface through their very presence and suggest shifting connections across time and place.
Narratives in my practice are atmospheric and fractured. I approach fiction as a way of creating an altered mode of perceiving, and of threading a mood or a moment. They most often emerge from lived experiences and relationships, or from my obsessions and interests. Sometimes these narratives are not pronounced.
My work is also shaped by thinking about movement between places. These crossings inform my reflections on belonging, home, and the politics of being a stranger. I am drawn to the figure of the stranger because it unsettles fixed ideas of identity and community, opening space to think about difference without the demand for assimilation. To be a stranger is not only to stand outside but to inhabit a position of possibility—alert, questioning, and receptive to what dominant narratives overlook.
In this sense, my practice is an act of listening, observing, sensing, and carrying—toward water, toward ruin, and toward what is passed down, questioned, and unfolded. It is a way of being in relation to the permeable and interstitial.
