Works





Pavement Hiccup (2024)
Graduate Showcase, Piet Zwart Insititute, Rotterdam

Reflecting on personal encounters with the absurdities of city life, Pavement Hiccup presents a pedestrian perspective that underlines the strangeness of the everyday. The installation is composed of interconnected forms and characters informed by urban oddities: an inappropriately located water feature persistently leaks onto a station platform; obsolete filing systems become overwhelmed; a collection of ties intermittently sneeze.

Vertabrea (2024)
VLAK Project Space, Rotterdam

A site-specific sculpture that responds to the domestic yet in-between nature of VLAK's project space — a site that once led to a staircase for a separate apartment. The work is comprised of a series of sinks made from paper pulp, underscoring the often-overlooked infrastructures that sustain us, both in body and in the home.

Anatomical [an approximation] (2024)
Glasgow Project Room, Glasgow

Anatomical [an approximation] explores how subtle and not-so-subtle strategies of urban design influence human experiences in cities. This work focuses on the slick, seamless design of business districts, like Glasgow’s International Financial Services District, where anonymity is coded into spatial interactions.

For a Song (2022)
Piet Zwart Institute Project Space, Rotterdam

An installation that presents a series of ruptures throughout the exhibition space as a means to explore the possibility that everyday objects have to shift us cognitively into imagining other spaces, times, and settings.
