Dangerous, Hysterical and Perfect Pop Culture Fun (2023) 

Black and white silver gelatin print, 12 x 12 in. mirror frame, various tearsheets collected from ebay and scotch tape.

Dangerous, Hysterical and Perfect Pop Culture Fun is a critique on media’s conscious choice to profit from the seduction of image and their role in the creation and destruction of celebrity. The work was installed at the Death of the Subject group exhibitiion at Public Works Administration in Times Square, New York City, alongside multi-media works by Jake Brush, e5piral, Johnny Scuotto and Joslyn Crocco. Death of the Subject explores the distrubing flow of media brainwashing and doxing culture, suggesting to break the cycle by pausing and becoming symbiotic with nature. 

In Boris Groys’ Into the Flow he explains that being offline is the act of contemplation that leaves no trace and therefore does not belong in the material world. The death of the subject means the incapacity of the subject to communicate and contribute their own message therefore becoming a secret. The media cycle (tabloid) continues to validate this behavior that has trickled down to all classes (non-celebrity) resulting in loss of job, housing, community and suicide. The death of one’s image is a blessing in disguise. Although painful, the rebirth creates an open minded existence, a freedom from the attachment of the image of the self.  



Under the Shadows of... (2017 - 2019)

Under the Shadows of... is a multi layered account through photographs and interviews of a trans female sex worker who de-transitions after four years of being on hormones. The project, shot over the course of three years, is a testament to the universal need for connection and community against today’s deeply fractured societal backdrop.  

Under the Shadows of... was short listed for The Hopper Prize in 2021. Different iterations of this project have been published in Fotofilmic JRNL 10 guest edited by Paul Schiek (2021) and Phile Magazine Issue 03 (2020).
