"Making the Invisible Visible" is a public engagement art piece created for my Integrated Design Studio 3 course focusing on heightening visibility of chronic pain.

The Cohabitation Kit seeks to encourage peaceful interspecial coexistence with wildlife within urban environments as part of a larger interest in cultivating urban symbiosis between animals and people.

"My Trash/The Unseen Abyss" is a paired video and publication project born out of a simple curiosity: What happens to all the New York City trash? "The Unseen Abyss", the video element, "follows" the trash to the informational wall upheld by the sanitation department and opens a line of inquiry about the immensity of maintenance work as well as the essentiality of the workers who complete it. In tandem, "My Trash", the publication element, examines this surplus of trash and its handling on a smaller, individual level by recording the waste I produced for a week. Both parts sought to bring an intentionality to how we think about waste, consumption, and urban infrastructural systems, sidestepping the tendency towards ignorance by requiring a deliberate focus on the makeup and outcome of our trash.

"A Ghost in the Machine" is a semi-experimental video piece based on the works of Toni Morrison as studied and guided within the literature course "The Revelation and the Word: Toni Morrison and Language" and focused upon the manifestations of Morrisonian themes within the American South. It is specifically inspired by Beloved, "The Unspeakable Unspoken", and "Going Home with Bitterness and Joy", as well as supplemental novels by Albert Murray and Imani Perry.

"The Art of the Archive" is a research publication completed for my third-year sociology course, examining the role of artwork as a vital contribution in decolonizing archival practices in the Middle East, specifically in Palestine.

Based on a four-minute soundscape abstractly depicting the environment of a laundromat, this video aims to juxtapose the cold, hard mechanical noises with the malleable canvas of flesh in order to create an unsettling or fever dream affect.  This project was completed for my second-year media class, and served as a method of experimentation with both audio and video editing programs (programs used were mainly Adobe Audition and Adobe Premiere Pro).

Fascinated both with metalwork and the way in which our personal lenses warp our perception of the world around us, I wanted to capture the organic spread of the famous Rorschach Ink Blot tests with the heavy, firm materiality of steel. This project involved welding, sanding, CNC routing, and presentation -- which ideally would include several light fixtures in order to exaggerate the shadows and reflections created by the metal. The piece is about 4.5ft x 2ft and served as the final for my second-year Integrated Making course at Parsons.
