DeDeSoup, 2025
Rope, Wood, and Video
We tend to think of identity as fixed on certain axes, but like wood, we are more flexible than you think. I have never felt more complete than when I allow myself to feel differently about something that I’ve previously accepted. Walking on this bridge feels like I’d fall and sink, but I never have.
DeDeSoup is a two-part installation consisting of DeDe (Dual Displays), a hanging two-channel video featuring a childhood footbridge that inspired the large spiraling form, entitled Soup (So Up).

Imagining Biserica Albă Inside, 2025
Charcoal on paper, 18 x 24”
Biserica Albă is a church right outside my grandmother’s apartment in Bucharest. I’ve never been inside despite being in such short proximity to its exterior. I like to think I know the structure, even if it has seen more of me than I have of it.

A Certain Slant, A Narrow Sliver, 2024
Frames, broomcorn, cart, video, and lightbulb
We have never made a perfect frame. No method of measuring and cutting can prevent some adjustment or some maintenance. Even so, when each end meets another, it completes itself and lives in satisfaction of its completion; each piece relying on the other. Sometimes, all that slips through the gaps of an enclosure is just a glimpse of something being held together.
A Certain Slant, A Narrow Sliver was an exhibition fabricated in complete collaboration with Ilayda Çelik. It featured a series of sculptures that reflected the intertwining of two individual practices and responded directly to particular elements of the gallery space.

Disjecta Membra at the Lido, 2024
Cement, glass, plastic, metals, wood, sand, dirt,
foam, lightbulbs, photos, video
The most I’m able to do is create an object and light it, or record light and place it inside an object. Intellectualizing the experience is like playing in shards of glass instead of sand.
Disjecta Membra at the Lido, which is pseudo-Latin meaning “dismembered limbs at the beach,” was a solo exhibition. Photos taken in childhood were crafted into wall-mounted sculptural objects, displayed at varying heights, opposite a tall structure protruding from a mound of sand. In the basement, a series of works presented the viewer with an intense subterranean atmosphere, alive with sound and video. In an already small and enclosed space, three sculptures presented the viewer with a limited and unsettling path to navigate.

A Child’s Drawing, 2023
House, Tub, Chair, Fence
Each dark corner or fabricated facade promises a discovery that is not there. Often, we search for answers in the wrong places or pay attention to the wrong details, and sometimes there is no sense to be made. In that absence, the viewer dwells.
