My work is a personal and collaborative inquiry into boundaries—the physical, political, and narrative barriers we construct to reinforce our processes of connection and separation. Through installations, performances, and workshops, I scavenge through our time, world, and communities for narrative debris that can be composted, and for loose threads that can be woven into textures of renewal. I often articulate these processes through the language of design—a creative discipline built around humanity’s inherent need to co-create its environment—as a way to re-story how we relate to our world.
Collaborative settings, such as workshops, are central to my practice; they allow relationships to become the primary territory where narratives shift and unsettle. I believe in the power of temporary, transient communities that come together in these settings as a force of change that can ripple outward into the world.
While I work in various contexts, my community-based projects often centre on queer people. Our joy and determination to find aliveness in an increasingly hostile world offer a model of worldbuilding through care and resilience.
In my culture, we inherit narratives of love, belonging, and togetherness that once traced the edges of nationality—a story that served as an exit route from empires. Today, we face new global empires, where escaping is no longer possible, and staying often feels unbearable.
We can no longer afford to dwell in absolute or binary terms. No more solutions, no outward projections, no escapist fantasies. We must find new ways back to each other—to create communities capable of holding contradiction, of embracing paradox, and of keeping aliveness possible.
