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.
