The Last Drop
October 2019
Performance, Metropolitan Arts Council, Greenville, SC
In this performance, the artist embodies the Earth’s vulnerability and plea for restoration. Wearing a symbolic pine head, she becomes a figure of offering, presenting small dried fragments as the Earth’s “last drops.” This gesture transforms the act of giving and receiving into a reflection on depletion, sacrifice, and care.
The work invites viewers to confront ecological loss while engaging in an exchange that calls for compassion, forgiveness, and responsibility—questioning what remains, and how we choose to respond.

The Golden Harvest
Date : 2018
Digital photograph, porcelain fish, gold spray paint, bubble gum
Born from a performative ritual, this work reflects on ecological loss and the illusion of value. What remains is gilded, preserved, and distanced—inviting reflection on what we choose to save, and what we allow to disappear.

Memorial of My Dad’s Breathing
August 18, 2020
Mixed media sculpture
This work serves as both memorial and transformation. Created in response to the passing of the artist’s father due to respiratory failure during COVID-19, the piece reflects on breath as both a physical and symbolic force. It holds grief, memory, and the fragile threshold between loss and renewal.
