Memorial To All Possible Futures

2019, wood, porcelain, canvas, water.

My current body of work surrounds the idea of collectively creating sustainable futures. At the core of this practice is shifting the relationships we have with time, with imagination, with creation, and making the spaces and tools necessary for us to imagine collectively. My work provides a space for people to explore, contemplate, and flex an empathetic muscle. It is creating a practice and laying a groundwork towards a more humanely sustainable future.

The Memorial to All Possible Futures calls us to remember all the futures that could have been. It asks the viewer to reconsider their relationship with time, understanding that our history, and the always approaching future are a part of the present. This consideration is necessary to shift cultural relationships with time, to pave the way towards collective creations of sustainable future for all resident of this earth by embracing our culpability and connections along temporal space.

As the viewer sees themselves reflected within the pools, they see themselves within the pathways that are carved along the memorial walls. They are inculcated into a possible future, a part of a map that is both familiar and unfamiliar.
