The Most Important Component explores the ways in which unseen, internal feelings of stress can be exhibited in a physical manner using body language. Stacked upon one another, these disembodied extremities display discomfort, tension, and adrenaline while offering a visual commentary on the sublime of life and its experiences. Although initially tethered to negative connotations of death and fear, Cadaver invites the viewer to openly stare at the inevitable and use the figure as a tool for therapy and spiritual healing. This piece changes in context, from morbid to the humorous, when the environment around it shifts as well.

These pieces exhibit five femme deities in their natural environments. They dominate their landscapes with immense strength and confidence. Project yourself onto these guardians and feel their power inside you! Find your favorite goddess, face her, and tell yourself, “you are the strongest thing that is.”

This 14-minute video is a selection of 9 videos, animations, and sound works, that the artist made as an undergraduate student. Through experimentations with time, motion, and opacity, the artist questions orientation and order, in the context of the digital age (or more specifically, zoom school). While most of their work was made at the University of California, Santa Barbara campus, in this compilation, the artist also includes a few pieces that they made remotely, from their home in Los Angeles, CA. Ultimately, these videos, animations, and sound experiments shed light on the aesthetics of decay, longing, and incorporeality, within a hybrid environment.
