Broken Loops, Uninterrupted Sky features several short publications and an interactive website exploring media technologies, feedback loops, and the body as a medium for information processing.
What happens when we examine ourselves and the people who have impacted us through the material items that we are given? An exploration into personal relationships and mass production.
An immersive installation that theorizes the possibility of the commodification of the human body in a way that often occurs to animals which has historically led to the extinction of hundreds of species.
The installation is staged like a future museum archive, with discarded everyday objects displayed on pedestals as preserved artifacts. Each item is accompanied by formal, research-based placards that explain its environmental impact and its role within systems of overproduction and consumption. The clean, institutional presentation contrasts with the broken, mass-produced materials, emphasizing the tension between cultural achievement and ecological consequence.
This installation draws from weaving traditions of the Ecuadorian Andes to create a responsive digital environment where visitors generate evolving textile forms. Through simple interactions, ancestral patterns are translated into shifting systems of color, rhythm, and motion. The work positions heritage as an active process, revealing how tradition can be reshaped and sustained through contemporary design and technology.
A desperate act of holding on to fading memories and people in the now and the past, with a primary focus on the family. Families often hold complex dynamics, where relationships are strained but remain strengthened by blood. With love, my thesis explores internal struggles through quickly drifting experiences, complicated connections, and mislead identity. The piece acts as a desire to preserve in an anticipatory grief manner.
“Spitfire” is an intimate viewing of my community and its members. My thesis serves as a platform to uplift their voices and celebrates their resilience in remaining authentic and genuine. It reaffirms my belief that the communities one participates in is a reflection of one’s true self. The passion in which my muses embody have the power to inspire others.
A space shaped by the duality of living between cultures. Through the reconstruction of a remembered kitchen, this work reflects on memory, loss, and the fragile ways we remain connected to those who shaped us. It is both an act of preservation and an act of longing.
“Where It Grows, Where It Dies” explores the tension between fragility and control. Using flowers restrained by metal mesh and artificial structures, I reflect on the experience of living within rigid social systems. The marks, folds, and scars left on the petals become traces of pressure and expectation, revealing how softness survives, adapts, and sometimes withers under constraint.
Ideated as a love letter to everyone who has ever felt like they belonged on the wide spectrum of love, The Human Condition aims to be a data visualization paying homage to hundreds of anonymous submissions through the lens of attachment theory with paper origami sculpture and digital media.
