My work investigates how systems of authority are embedded in the material and spatial conditions of everyday life, and naturalized through repetition, design, and habit. Using security fencing, barricades, domestic cladding, souvenir objects, and industrial debris, I construct sculptural environments that reveal the infrastructural logic of power. Central is the “physical afterlife of ideology,” where institutional violence persists not as event but as form, distributing control across ordinary objects and architectural surfaces. I interrupt this normalization by reconfiguring familiar materials to expose the tensions within them. As an immigrant in the United States for over two decades, I understand national identity as a spatial and temporal condition shaped by displacement, where borders operate as infrastructural systems embedded in daily rhythms. Through displacement, compression, and juxtaposition, my work reveals how power becomes indistinguishable from environment, persisting through its integration into the ordinary conditions of perception.
