 Site-specific installation at Wesleyan’s Zilkha Gallery.


Primary materials: newsprint, a table found on FB marketplace modified into a light-box, transparency paper, video projection, audio narration, digital images.


Centered around a short story. A narrator goes to a small liberal arts school, disillusioned and waiting for a stranger they met through email, the waiting taking place in a dilapated art building. 


Exploring transparency, intimacy, and a latent queer sense of loss, evoked through modern mediums of mass-communication. Guided by photographic principles of light and description.
