These glasses. It’s wild how the body heals itself layer by layer. After a retinal rupture, I’m now preparing for cataract surgery. Vision is slowly finding its way back. The retina is so fragile: where sight begins, maybe even the soul. The body’s quiet repair feels nothing short of miraculous.

We’re bringing the archive out of the page and into the body and slowly dissolving the line between object and experience, harm and desire.

Sneak peek: Making something strange, sweet, and a little unsettling for #4sSeattle25.

I’m so proud of our students in the SF Bridge Program at UCSF and SFSU. You’ve had to navigate the rigorous demands of academia & the emotional weight of watching institutions meant to support you falter. And still—you showed up with care, brilliance, and strength. I’m honored to witness your paths.
