I work with ordinary industrial materials that quietly organize everyday life. Security fencing, police barricades, vinyl siding, and other systems of enclosure form the starting point of my sculptures. Through cutting, folding, compression, and reconfiguration, I transform these materials into sculptural environments that reveal what I call the physical afterlife of ideology: the persistence of political and cultural systems as material conditions embedded in architecture, infrastructure, and habitual space. Living in the United States for over two decades as an immigrant has shaped my understanding of national identity as a material condition rather than a fixed cultural category. My work investigates how social structures become ordinary, and how the ordinary, in turn, organizes perception, movement, and belonging.
