The liminal space between being uprooted and being grounded.
What ways can we tend to our own gardens?
What makes our flowers bloom?
This exhibit explores the intimate and reflective relationship between landscape, memory, and journey by using sculpture, print, and experimentation. The path carved becomes both definition and metaphor, enmeshed with others’ journeys to create a collective story.

Water is a sacred life force.
This sculpture is based on the varying lack of access to clean water across six regions - Sudan, Tigray, Palestine, Myanmar, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It focuses on the harsh realities that define the struggle for survival in these areas due to varying degrees of colonization, commercial exploitation political domination, etc, using symbolic elements to highlight the costs, both literal and metaphorical, of obtaining something as basic as clean water.
These six wooden water jugs, each painted with varying levels of blue water, visually represent the percentage of people in each region who have access to clean water.
Sudan 60%
DRC 29%
Myanmar 57%
Palestine 10%
Tigray 25%
Somalia 52%
