A three-part visual essay exploring my evolving relationship with art-making during the early days of the pandemic. Constrained by the walls of my home and limited to the materials already in my studio, the series reflects on how isolation reshaped my sense of space, time, and self.

Shot entirely through Snapchat Spectacles, the work invites viewers to quite literally see through my eyes as I move through these introspective installations. The lens becomes both a documentation tool and a symbol of the digital intimacy that defined our new normal.
01
Digesting the Past
A moment of nostalgia. I reflect on the time before, on the liberties that once felt permanent. There is a romanticized tension in looking back.
02
Processing the Present
The reality of now. Barbed wire, cinderblocks, an immobilized car, and a face mask all appear in a set that speaks to containment and emotional stillness. In that moment, survival felt like numbness. I was absorbing layer after layer of uncertainty, unable to process it fully in real time.
03
Floating Towards the Future
A slow, uncertain drift forward. The final scene unfolds on a rotating platform, symbolizing both motion and repetition. Harsh fluorescent light and synthetic materials evoke sterile, ambiguous spaces. Forward momentum is present, but it carries hesitation.
