"I Wish I Knew Your Name Under Better Circumstances (And The Pinhole Captures All Of You)", 2024. Wood, nails, yarn, ribbon, donated special items and trinkets from transgender peers. 321 transgender people were murdered in 2023. 469 incidents were recorded of hate crimes towards an individual who is transgender or gender non-conforming. This is beyond terrifying to confront. Who do I know who could become part of this number? It is horrific to know that so many people have fallen into this category – a number, a tally of a life taken. It leaves me with a hole in my chest. Who were you? What did you do? What did you love? I asked my transgender and gender non-conforming peers, “How do you want to be remembered when you die?”, and read their emotional responses aloud. I asked for any special object they wanted to donate to this piece, as well as coming to my studio, and weaving squares and columns onto the piece itself. It becomes a map, one of the conversations and the time spent with everyone who collaborated, their joy in life, and a way to pay respects to those that came before us. Everyone who added even the smallest contribution to this piece is alive, and I will remember them, and that is all I need.

"Yes, It Actually Works," 2024. iPhone chargers, ethernet cables, electrical wiring, car chargers, found wooden chair, plastic wall mount. What do you mean "it works"? It's a chair, covered in wires. It has no function, yet it takes up space. It is visually absorbed, and it is physically touched. "Yes, It Actually Works," asks itself two questions: "What am I?" and "Does it matter?"
