Talks in circles

Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery, Middletown, Connecticut. 2024.

I presented five sculptures for my senior thesis exhibition at Wesleyan University. Four of the five sculptures react sonically or kinetically to some electrically-enabled stimulus. The fifth sculpture, Obsessed, contains selfies from my childhood, an Instagram Shoutout from 2013, and my SoundCloud likes. All are attempts at embodying aspects of the experience of being a person who has grown up with and maintains constant access to entertainment on the internet.
