This is the performance I did for the Blaffer Museum. In this piece it represents being isolated as a person of color in thought and body. As if the media and situations happening throughout social justice in America. Being so afraid to go out in the world because you may not think it wasn't created for you. I want the viewer to make their own interpretations from the piece as well it goes hand in hand with being in quarantine as many of us have been experiencing. I also want the viewer to listen to the music with their eyes closed and imagine all the names in the media they've seen and heard and the unheard.

I included a sound wave that coexists with the recording. I eventually want to turn this piece into a live performance with scents. Most of us live in the city or away from the ocean or a body of water. I created this piece to take people out of their bodies and minds to a place I hold most dearly to me.

This piece represents being confined during quarantine. It seemed allot of things were most real and more lively in my dreams. How I would experience being with others or being social. Whether I'm going out dancing or being at a concert. I dreamed of most social happenings that I’ve experienced in the past. (2020)

Performance Apart of Nameless Sound Ensemble (2023)

Performance at Hangar residency in Lisbon Portugal. I created a performance with a dancer in the local dance scene. The performance had a scent, sound & visible aspect to it. We based the whole performance around the word vulnerability. From the performance we are going to start a performance collective called " Significant Other”. Where we will invite other dancers and artists alike to perform in spacial, auditory and olfactory works. (2021)

(2022)

Is this real is this fake. All this time that it takes to read the lines on a face. To know plans don’t fall in place. In this love in this hate. I condone this life that you take. Like a stone with no face. Like a light without shape. A razor without taste. A coin flipped for his fate. The time it takes to realize the life you live is overanalyzed & every moment you see and seek. Can tend to be nothing but the most real lies.
