This research project explores the expansive digital landscape of self-expression and identity, from Instagram filters to fully fictional personas. It focuses on empowering marginalized communities, especially those who feel disconnected from their biological bodies, allowing them to express their true selves. Using tracking suits, participants can fuse their physical and digital identities, creating personalized avatars that embody their desired identities and emotions, often enhanced through AI tools.
The project specifically involves performers from transgender, non-binary, and gender-fluid communities, who explore and express their new digital selves. Their movements and emotions are translated into transformative avatars, raising profound questions about the fluidity of identity and the impact of digital self-discovery on reality. The final output will be a video documenting this innovative process, blending the tangible with the digital and sparking reflections on the intersections of technology and identity.

CCC
2023
In this project, we delve into a dystopian scenario where a country grapples with a resurgence of soft drinks, leading to a severe public health crisis characterized by diabetes, obesity, and shortened lifespans. Government regulations prove futile as corporations actively promote and profit from sugary beverage consumption, especially targeting infants and children. This narrative underscores the stark contrast between dire health consequences and profit-driven marketing, culminating in the nation's inundation with unhealthy products.
A publication and various objects were crafted during a residency in Merida, Mexico.

2020
We have spent so much time in digital space that we often forget that there is a real world. Leaving a beautiful beach on Instagram is often more important than a day in the park. Our preferences move, we shut ourselves off and often forget what is real.
