It is 20188. You have done nothing but wait and watched as new species of bacilli have multiplied and died at your feet. The rest of the world has forgotten us. When will you leave?



Structures dictated as safe often betray me. I’ve developed a suspicion of these places, seeking out sites of solitude within or beyond them for reprieve. These are abandoned houses, construction sites, hidden shrines, storage rooms… Spaces that time has left behind, where time has collapsed - paces that are forgotten. Using secondhand objects and text, I work with installation to create (un)saferooms that carry their own complications with security.
