n play children experience maximum intensity. They are surgeons, kings, evil, animals. They make themselves weep. As adults we experience this intensity very rarely: by death, by illness, by financial ruin. What are the figures here playing at? Are the figures mirrors of each other? If the erotic is where adults usually experience generative play, are the figures here necessarily erotic? Who has the right to make an adult wear a dunce cap?

Non-Essential Consultants, Inc., a three channel video installation, combines narrative and documentary filmmaking to depict an allegorical history involving two outlaw operatives responsible for a bed bug outbreak in Washington, DC. The video revolves around a sculptural element; a vintage suitcase retrofitted with scientific machinery and medical equipment used for breeding bed bugs. This suitcase also contains a diorama of a luxury hotel room, from a notorious hotel located near the White House, symbolizing the convergence of corporate and political power. The installation draws inspiration from 1960s spy thrillers, reflecting the current public distrust of government and media, as well as the challenges posed by rapid technological advancements and national security threats. Ultimately the installation highlights the permeability of even the most fortified power structures.
Loose Intentions. Tight Pajamas. Freedom and obligation are often at odds. Loose Intentions is the feeling of being able to take risks, do what we want, change our mind, without putting the thoughts and opinions of others ahead of our own. Tight Pajamas is a metaphor for being constricted, confines to decisions driven by what others think. The series “Loose Intentions. Tight Pajamas.” explores the paradoxes we lead as humans, craving freedom, autonomy, yet simultaneously wanting approval, community. How far does each of us go with our loose intentions? Do our tight pajamas prohibit us from enjoying the freedoms we attain? In the fave of change, do we move on, or back pedal? Do we take behavioral risks to avoid emotional risks?
