Signs of Life
Signs of Life is a selection of often-rearranged images presenting a constant slippage between sites and sights to explore the language of immigration/emigration.
Examining visual relationships across eras, geographies, and place, the framework for my work emerges from evolving study of visual culture and fluid states of interconnectedness.
