She works across photography, new media, speculative research, curatorial practice, and material forms including ceramics. Her work examines the lifecycle of visual culture and technological transition, considering how we process and grieve incomprehensible scale shifts. She holds a BFA in photography with a concentration in curatorial studies from MICA and is currently training as a death doula, integrating grief methodology into artistic practice.

Data Elegy / Data Grief Project

<aside> 🪨

Data Elegy is a speculative video transmission from a 'yottabyte native': myself at 27 in 2062, born into infinite data storage, attempting to understand my terabyte ancestors' finite storage anxiety. Drawing from death doula methodology and speculative autobiography, this 3-5 minute piece examines data grief: our unacknowledged mourning of human-scale information relationships. Working with a videographer/editor, I'll develop character, script, and performance while they handle technical execution. This is the entry point for a larger multimodal memorial project examining technological transition, drawing from Cindy Sherman's character work and Constant Dullaart's platform explorations.

Ceramics practice grounds my digital/conceptual work in physical making.
