This ongoing body of work engages deeply with contemporary art discourses, exploring themes of memory, identity, representation, and the politics of race. Rooted in an interrogation of language and its evolving role in defining social and cultural identities, it seeks to question the canonical and systemic frameworks that underpin racial and artistic classification.

Through large-scale collages on paper and panels, I pixelate skin tones of figures to blur racial distinctions, challenging the viewer to interpret identity beyond physical appearance. By eschewing the traditional reliance on skin tone as a marker of narrative or representation, the work questions the contemporary use of racial categories such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and POC (People of Color), critiquing their potential for perpetuating segregation through exclusion. This is especially significant in the context of affirmative action's dismantling and its implications for race's enduring intersection with artistic practice.
