My focus is on conversations and human connectivity in public and private settings. I am focusing on the spaces around us when we communicate, from embedded conversations in walls, floor mats, to thought clouds, as if these spaces hold stories. I wonder how a simple conversation is absorbed between people, how they’re connected, and what the conversational wavelengths would look like if we could see them.

A common thread between my past work and my current work is the investigation of conversations between people, but now there’s a shift toward how we process and wear emotions. In the current state of our political and social climate, I feel the need to be more representational in form in order to have a place from which to present the abstract feelings we all share. I am offering the viewer the processed emotions I see around me, like contentment, discontent, overwhelm, etc.
