My practice examines how systems of authority become invisible through material repetition — embedded in fencing, barricades, domestic surfaces, and the mass-produced objects of national belonging. Working with these industrial and found materials, I construct sculptural environments that expose what I call the "physical afterlife of ideology": the way institutional power persists not as dramatic event but as quiet form, distributed across ordinary objects and architectural space.

This inquiry is grounded in my experience as an immigrant in the United States for over two decades. I understand national identity as a condition shaped by displacement — one in which borders function not as political abstractions but as infrastructural systems woven into everyday life. Through compression, reconfiguration, and juxtaposition, my work interrupts the normalization of these structures, making legible the tensions that familiarity tends to dissolve.
