My visual language incorporates topographies that echo the strategies of pathfinding utilized by migrants. The movement of bodies, like those of constellations, posit geography and space as liminal positions, like players in space. The improvisational movements in sports act as a metaphor for a persistence on survival by constantly adapting to one’s changing environments. By incorporating games, I invoke an architectural and narrative space where boundaries are malleable, limits are negotiable, and competition is a generative force for evolving identities.”
