This installation is called Displaced. 

I built a wall to close off a third of the gallery space where I hung 3 doors and built a small room behind one of the doors. On those doors, I had installed multiple peepholes and hung images of my illusion of what my American Dream was to me and the doors were not meant to open.

The middle door was a small room with Index of the Unknown, which is a card catalogue hanging on the wall with my personal information of current and former “visitor information”

Through this work, I expressed the emotional value of preconceived notions, disconnectedness, and longing in search of finding place and acceptance within a community.

Pulling from memory, personal narrative, emotions, and perceptions, I manipulated data into lines, forms, and materials through a subjective human experience through the lens of a non-citizen.
