"The Last Drop" Performance at the Metropolitan Art Council Greenville SC. This performance embodying the Earth's profound vulnerability and desperate plea for salvation. Wearing a symbolic Pine Head, the artist stands at the gallery's edge, transforming into a beggar who offers small, dried balls of pine—the Earth’s last fragments—to the audience.
This act is a direct metaphor for global suffering, comparing the planet’s depletion to a final, sacrificial offering. By engaging in this exchange, the audience is confronted with the urgent need for compassion. The giving and receiving of this 'last drop' is intended to liberate and foster a sense of forgiveness, ultimately encouraging both the capacity to receive love and to give love.

This performance is a solemn ritual addressing ecological loss and misplaced value..
The performance asks: What do we mourn, and what do we truly preserve? It is a silent moment of conservation and reckoning, challenging the audience to confront the clinical distance we maintain while harvesting the final, glittering remnants of a fragile environment.
The central work—an adult figure confined within a "uterus" hand-crocheted from plastic milk cartons—serves as a chilling symbol of forced biological and cultural evolution. This manufactured enclosure, a product of consumer waste and animal extraction, becomes the surrogate source of life. It reflects a culture grown comfortable substituting the organic, maternal body with a manufactured, packaged, and non-human alternative.
By prioritizing the convenient and commercial over the natural, this societal choice unconsciously subordinates the inherent worth of the maternal act. The work challenges the audience to recognize how this pattern creates a dangerous habit of undervaluing and displacing the fundamental importance of nature—both in the intimate biological sphere and the broader environmental one—in favor of the industrial and the disposable.
