(RE)ASSEMBLAGE
THE 2025 EFA SHIFT Cohort Exhibition
My practice is rooted in the belief that art can be a space for repair—emotionally, spiritually, socially, and politically. Through video, I’ve explored how sound and moving images can provoke thought, challenge dominant narratives, and document the complexities of American life.
I’m interested in how material forms—particularly found objects— can hold memory, and how digital media might animate them with new presence. At the core of this exploration is a question: Can an object inhabit spirit?
Much of this work is rooted in the church I grew up in, a place that shaped my understanding of spirituality, ritual, and community. It’s now a place marked by absence—many members, including my father, have passed, and the building itself faces closure amidst rapid gentrification. As I process these changes, I find myself drawn to this space as the site of inquiry.
In response, I’ve been crafting sculptural installations that embed sound and video within everyday or sacred objects, layering archival footage, home video, and oral histories. By fusing digital media with the physical, I’m exploring how technology can carry spirit—how it might serve as a conduit for memory, ritual, and healing. These works aim to demonstrate a practice of making space for what persists when so much else disappears.

a place in the sun
BRIC VIdeo Art Lab 2024
a place in the sun is a visual poem that explores how Black people find their way to joy and emotional wellbeing through poetry, archival video, music, found clips, family interviews, and stylized surrealist scenes. The past three years have stretched the collective emotional, spiritual and physical capacities for Black people in this country, and I thought about how vital it is for us to seek joy and healing. I personally have experienced so much and I wrote the film to delve deeper into this. a place in the sun is the representation of that.
