Neo-Binary: Gender Lanscape Installation for Longturn Music w/ Annie Errez

December 2019

Created a one-night immersive installation exploring the agender and pangender identities as a new measure of gender binary. Using materials that exist specifically to emulate nature or reality (fake grass + flowers, 3D hologram projector), I was able to reconcedptualize how the current view of gender can be expanded upon.

A Fairer Sex
Debut Solo Exhibition at Pittsburgh Filmmakers

March 2018

"A Fairer Sex" is a series of framed photographic portraits highlighting a diverse array of women and their collective discourse on womanhood, solidarity, and other topics.

"In today's sociopolitical climate, womanhood is a hotly debated topic. It seems that it's everyone's job to define who qualifies as a woman, what a woman is capable of, or what a woman is allowed to do with her body- except the woman herself. This body of work is an open forum for women of different backgrounds to speak on their experiences and their visions for the future, freely and uninterrupted, through their words and intimate, surreal portraits. Topics include: equity and solidarity within the community of women and proposals for overcoming hurdles facing women or any of their subgroups."
