Artwork & Creative Projects
Art as Ritual, Repair, and Reconnection
My creative practice spans conceptual, participatory, and performative works that explore our evolving relationship with the systems that shape us—first through the lens of digital culture and now through the living world. Whether engaging the mythos of technology or the quiet gestures of ecological repair, my work invites reflection on what it means to be human in an interconnected, imperiled world. I approach art as a portal—a space of remembering, ritual, and relational healing.
Butterfly Bandages
Ongoing series, 2025
Butterfly Bandages is an ongoing body of work exploring the subtle grief that comes from being disconnected from the natural world—and the quiet rituals of repair that might help us find our way back. Each piece features found elements from nature—feathers, beetle shells, butterfly wings—gently secured to paper using a hand-cut butterfly bandage, echoing a gesture of care from my childhood.
The works are minimal, but each one holds a moment of intimacy between the human and the more-than-human world. These small assemblages act as symbolic dressings—field medicine for our fractured relationship with nature. They ask us to pause, to notice what we’ve walked past, to tend to what still matters, and to remember that reverence begins with attention.
In this series, the bandage becomes a metaphor: for tenderness, for grief, for beauty that endures—and for the possibility of healing.
