I Belong Somewhere (2023-Present)
An ongoing visual self-portrait series. Using scraps of footage from various
personal and commissioned works, I piece together late-night notes app rants into something that
attempts to capture who I am and how I am feeling wherever I am.
1. “Dreams of Home” (2023)
on the search for a place I can feel at peace, feel belonging, and feel at home.
2. “I Still Exist.” (2025)
on the point of it all. on why. if there is place at all.
