I am a poet and visual artist who explores grief and entropy. I scavenge for materials to create my art and visual poetry, using anything from scrap paper & fabric to video clips and audio samples.

Through art, I have a chance to reflect on what it means to grieve in a society that will sell your grief back to you. To live in a culture that will sell you your own self-image.

I’m inspired by Hanif Abdrraqib’s blend of pop culture and self-reflection, Naomi Nye’s metabolism of love and rage, and the Meow Wolf collective’s ability to redefine storytelling through physical space.

I want people to see time & grief & entropy in a new way. I want to help people measure time using something besides hours and minutes.
