this is a myth about a place
here, i am experimenting with installation to consider the relationship between spatial design and narrative structures.
What does a non-linear story look like? How can the dimensions of an oral tradition live in the cinematic realm?
My practice is a poem on process, applying the kind of intimacy and curiosity found in children's stories to tell a story of radical transformation.
The story begins when you begin
Welcome
“i am here with you, always”
Weaving found footage, experimental sounds, and images from my personal archive- this immersive space tells a story about fear, love, and courage.
