“THIS JUNCTION”(2017-8)

“I encountered life on those streets as an outsider. As I walked, I was sensitive to both the viscerally overwhelming experience and the theft of my personal agency. I began to yield to the streets, and they unfolded for me. It became more difficult to distinguish the ugly from the beautiful, my reality from theirs. This is about fighting for space and finding my place amongst the inhabitants of this urban chaos.”
