SPACE & SENSE

VOID

2017 - 2022

Works from 2020 to 2021 respond to industrial living, working, and commercial environments. The three works highlight functions and design choices within structural spaces in the U.S. and question the role urban spaces take in shaping human behaviors.

Interactive works from 2017 to 2021 highlight the power dynamics and emotional intricacies that exist in human's daily interactions. 

THIRTY THREE

ORDERS, 2022

The "Order" series are two works that are a crystallization of the artist's research and documentation in Athens on the ways in which meanings in structures are given, transferred, taken, reconstructed, and created. The resulting works allude to themes of facade, power, white as a color, and consumerism in the construction of homes.
