woven tapestry, multimedia installation, sculpture, short film





Using techniques such as the Pepper’s Ghost illusion, the work bridges ancient storytelling traditions with contemporary technology, inviting reflection on transformation, identity, and the fragile boundaries between pleasure and pain, beauty and the grotesque. 








Soft drapings, deep red and magenta lighting, and handcrafted fabric vines create a surreal space that echoes the emotional landscape of Last Call.






Light and sound installations created in collaboration with Bethany Yeap, Yinuo Chen, and Daniel Rosato. Documentation photography by Christina Mishell &  Kai Wasikowski

The Locker Room
Snake Summer


July 2025 
Curated by Samara Bliss
The Locker Room


The snake has long operated as a symbolic site of projection—across religions, cultures, and disciplines. It is at once feared and revered, associated with knowledge and deceit, rebirth and temptation, healing and danger. Its meaning is unstable by nature: always shifting, always shedding.

This exhibition brings together artists exploring the serpent’s entanglement with power, pleasure, and survival through feminist, queer, and mythological frameworks. Snake Summer asks what it means to live with icons that refuse resolution—and what happens when we follow them into the heat.

Artists: Paul Anagnostopoulos, Faustine Badrichani, Saxon Brice, Winnie Cheung, Maisie Cousins, Jeffrey Dell, Hannah Epstein, Maya Fuhr, Tyler Goldflower, Dan Lam, Theo Rosenblum, Summer Wagner, Cloe Vriet, Marguerite Wibaux

RESIDENCY (2023)

"resurrects the collective spirit that once defined New York City’s artistic ecosystem, yet the zombified venture spirals into derangement as the film shifts into the mode of funhouse horror"

Artforum

"RESIDENCY is part of the North American new wave of indie micro-budget genre features"

Variety



"a concise and concentrated evil diamond of a feature debut"

A man walks off a boat. He walks into a restaurant, orders albatross soup, takes a sip of the soup, pulls out a gun, and kills himself. So... why did he kill himself?

When the System Fails You, You Create Your Own System

Black Market was the first TV projected that I directed and one of the last projects that Michael K Williams worked on. He championed for the stories of oppressed and for the people who told them. His legacy continues in his work.




By 2025, two thirds of the world will face extreme water stress. Already, we see black markets for fresh water in places like India, Pakistan and Mexico. Meanwhile in the United States, Wall Street takes bets on water stocks or “liquid gold” as Detroit and California shuts off its fresh water supply.

We travel to California, Mexico City and San Isidro, Puerto Rico for a critical look into what black market means. and who gets to deem it “water theft” in a colonized state?

IN THE HABIT OF HIDING
Multi-channel experimental film
a messy meditation on deliberate self sabotage

Co-Director with Elena Vazintaris
Producer
Editor
As female artists, chasing the idea of perfection often stifles our ability to react instinctively. We make excuses and manipulate ourselves into believing that we’re not capable. We want to show how torturous it is to obsessively pursue the unbelievably high standards that we often set for ourselves.

Ciclope Silver Award winner  (“Weird Shxt” Category) and premiered
Sound of Silent Film Festival
Luminato Festival Toronto




“In the Habit of Hiding” is a moving portrait capturing the inner dialogue of self sabotage while simultaneously grappling with a collective anxiety over the state of the external world.  Overcoming the mundane to motivate oneself into existence feels like a slow, endless climb through a tub of molasses.
