Projects > If the world ends tomorrow I will find you, I promise

I collect and transform pieces of trash from sites of destruction to explore queer renewal as a strategy towards healing in deep time. In this body of work, I melted metal into metamorphic objects that revitalize the rusted fragments. Notes on paper that contain my hopes and fears about belonging in time are submerged inside the molten new forms, at times emerging.

By embodying archaeological unknowability, these works reclaim their own subjectivity. The renewal of discarded materials relates to experiences of queer abandonment and the subsequently-earned intuition to seek love and transformation in ruin.
