The Eyes, 2022
The Eyes, 2022Performance and Video Work. Performance runtime 40 minutes.
The Eyes uses a combination of the body- our original technology– and new media to refract the surveillance state through the myth of Io and Argus Panoptes. A giant covered entirely with eyes reimagined as a singular being covered with 20 cell phones, Panoptes is the panopticon embodied. The work traces Io's journey to regain body sovereignty as they navigate the fervent digital landscape of Argus’ simultaneous visions.

Vibrating Waiting for You to Touch, 2025
Multimedia Performance (45 minute runtime)
A mixed-reality performance that explores the sensorial and emotional experience of scrolling. It is a dance of scrolling thumbs—thumbs attached to hands performed by whole people. Through movement, sound, and absurdist costuming, props, and embodied exploration, the piece investigates how our bodies are disciplined by digital systems and how the intimate act of touch becomes flattened into functionality. This work asks: how do we touch a digital body? And can touch rehumanize the dehumanized scroll?

Intimacy for the Apocalypse, 2025
Intimacy for the Apocalyse, 2025Performance, Runtime: 60mins, Human Resources Gallery, Los Angeles
A collaboration with choreographer Emily Barasch. In Intimacy for the Apocalypse, an unstable structure made of rope, slime, wooden levers, buckets, and streamers shifts over time as four dancers and a sound composer develop emergent, co-constituted logics to find stability and support within their material conditions. As the performers engage in gestural looping, tuning scores, and task-based scenarios, they develop new relational practices for embodied logics of survival. Intimacy for the Apocalypse investigates how bodies and environments can be reoriented out of collapse, giving way to intra- dependent speculative futures. It stages a world where bodies refuse categorization, shifting between discipline and defiance, chaos and clarity, desire and tension.

Touch(ing) Screen, 2024
Ongoing Workshop and Video Work.
A touch workshop using custom made touch screens alongside their personal devices to help participants synesthetically remap touch back into their thumbs, training them to touch images, and feel digital bodies. Inspired by Montessori early education touch tablets, the workshop incrementally introduces more complex textures to retrain the sensation of touch back into our mono-textured screens.

tether to, 2024Performances and Media Installation. Performance runtime 35 minutes.
tether to is a performance that explores the numerous ways we are tethered to each other, our devices, and the refracted present playing back upon itself. A dance of screens and thumbs. The screens are a window, and when rotated reveal the past seen from a multitude of perspectives but never fully within view. The performance builds off of the Touch(ing) Screen workshop, which explores the relationship between digital and physical touch. In this performance, performers eventually are transformed into hands, becoming the embodiment of the scroll.
