Examines the lasting impact of environmental and bodily harm through materials that carry memory and labor. Made from discarded fabric, costume remnants, and hair, it reflects on toxins lodged in the body and the grief of inherited illness—cancer, endometriosis, and ancestral loss. It’s about grief It’s about cancer It’s about desire It’s about the chemicals that are here to stay It’s about endometriosis It’s about fast fashion It’s about waste It’s about longevity It’s about mourning the loss of time It’s about what the hair holds It’s about endocrine disruption It’s about health anxiety It’s about lust It’s about seeking at all costs It’s about mourning an unsustainable career It’s about the dreams and nightmares I’ve had It’s about my ancestors who suffered before me It’s about my mother's early death and if I have the same fate It’s about viewing my body as a monster.
