📁 INSTALLATION2023LA ART CORE
This piece originally debuted in 2022 at LA ArtCore in the form of a dual projection living room installation. It was later commissioned to be revised and reimagined for tOne Institute's CIRCA: Queer Histories festival.Star gayzing (2022) is a group meditation in the form of a visual and audio collage. In this piece, I talk with eight voices from my community to discuss queer time. 

Conversations were held in 2021 and 2022, both in person and remotely.

A big thank you to participants for sharing themselves and their stories with all of us.
