There is a powerful pull toward the strange. The strange compels me to explore and to expose people to ideas that might be uncomfortable. I find beauty in looking at the remnants of transformation–what is present yet invisible, what rots and how it transitions over time, and what evokes a visceral reaction. By exposing spots of trauma layer by layer, my practice illuminates the uncomfortable and honest pain of healing.

This piece depicts a memory of my experience in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was living in downtown Oakland, California at the time that the shelter-in-place and essential business mandates went into place. The street that my partner and I were riding our bikes down was entirely empty with the exception of ourselves and a trepidatious deer that had wandered in from the forest. Throughout all of the chaos of the pandemic, nature was given the chance to heal.
