Being
Becoming

As corporeal creatures we depend on a complex web of interrelations both with other bodies but also with the land that we inhabit and the structures which ascribe meaning. In this work I explore the question of what it means to obscure the signifiers of identity and withdraw from webs of belonging. This piece was executed on the ancestral land of the Taino people (Kingston, Jamaica) as well as the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) people (Vancouver) and probes a lived and embodied experience of belonging, placelessness and identity. This piece has been an ongoing project since 2014.
