Selected projects: 


001-Elements of Renewal


‘Elements of Renewal‘ is a group exhibition centering works that breathe new life into raw forms. Conceived as a multi-sensory experience, the show transported viewers into a space filled with materials and sounds commemorating California’s landscape and atmospheric forces. 

Collectively, the contributing artists seamlessly wove earth pigments, textiles, movement, and materials to frame ecological design. By reconceptualizing everyday materials and elements, the artists conjoined with the designs created an atmosphere to commemorate the land and stimulate the senses. 

Elements of Renewal is a proposition to deepen our connection with ecological landscapes, build conscious relationships with nature, and initiate intimate connections with the land that birthed its communities.

The exhibition was curated in collaboration with Fig & Oak.
