Installation in Roberts Gallery in Cambridge MA from April 24th 2025 - May 4th 2025
Artist Statement:
In the grout between tile cracks, in porcelain of tub walls, and in the crevices of skin is where you will find me.
Hair falls out of my head, caking up the drain. My cells litter the sides of my sink. Mirrors haunt me as every angle is more terrifying than the last.
My nails pick the layers of my skin becoming covered in blood and soaking with obsession. The scars of my forearms create indents so deep that I can feel my bones. My skin is full of embers. Flesh forever on fire.
I spend durations of my day examining myself and reapplying numerous medicated lotions. All in the hope that it will become just a little more manageable, for the pain to subside for a singular moment; allowing relief to seep its way in.
My largest organ is a collection of broken cells; a ruin.
