A Transient Space To Return To is a sculptural installation that invites viewers to reconsider home as something intangible, traveling with us through our loved ones, our memories, and the roots we carve.

In the nineteenth century, women were often represented as birds; caged, ornamental, valued for their beauty and compliance. Two centuries later, the cage has changed shape, but this symbolism remains. “EXIT (FLOCK)” features twenty-five written works layered onto a sculptural element exploring the exploitation of women throughout history, coinciding with the use of symbols and metaphors often used to represent femininity.

Printed on thermal receipt paper, a booklet archives these works while inherently exploring the transactional nature of relationships and cyclical decay.
