From? To? How?, 2025
site-specific installation 

Grounded in temporality, lineage, and repair from a textiles, craft and critical theory framework, my research probes the question: What are we liberating ourselves from, and what are we liberating ourselves to? My work proposes that reorienting towards wholeness is about actively transforming our relationship to the past through creative, intentional practices of memory and repair.

From? To? How? is a liminal space that fundamentally asks how we move from historical pain to collective liberation. The stack of prints – sourced from Ebony Magazine (1963) – invites participation, challenging viewers to actively remember and confront overlooked historical truths. The photographic story quilt pieces together a past that is actively being censored. The basket sculpture represents a somatic approach to processing ancestral grief—acknowledging that bodily memory can carry stories beyond verbal or written narratives. The video performance emerges as a triumphant expression of joy and freedom, demonstrating how intentional remembrance and processing can lead to personal and collective healing.
