My work is focused on failed and attempted communication. It is an anthropologically charged exploration of the physical, emotional, and sexual relationships between people from the point of view of an individual. Through initial attraction and apparent simplicity, I mimic everyday social interactions. I am concerned with the realm beneath these innocuous social cues and conversational prompts, where desire for something more exists. Through the tension of seduction and repulsion, I am striving to understand how we simultaneously relate to and resist each other.
