I am interested in the process of creating identity and the ephemeral human nature that is constantly evolving and changing. My themes focus on the loss of and search for identity, the conflicts that occur when building a new identity, and conforming to social surroundings. The performance captured in my work is the result of my experiences in these social and physical surroundings.

Hair Project

Hair is a performance project of video and photo installation. The haircut reflects the assimilation of individual identity into that of the marriage.

The juxtaposed videos show myself having a long shoulder length hair cut down to the same length of hair as my husband’s
