Cloud X

Cloud X is a romantic reflection anchored by absurdity and artificiality. With the ever-present droomscrolling on TikTok and Instagram, where do we, the everyday people, fit in in a world that is presented as beautifully curated houses, couture cakes, cocktails, and clothing—all under the umbrella of seemingly effortless snapshots of perfected, peaceful living? Cloud X mirrors warped experiences regarding relationships, home, pleasure, excess, falsehood, jealousy, and the engrained and naive ways in which we compare ourselves to those around us.

My studio practice pokes at the perceived hierarchies of social expectations. Cloud X is no exception. I play with the clash of expectations versus reality—the romantic notions of what I, or something, "should" be versus what it actually is, resulting in work that holds humor and sadness, seduction and repulsion.

This project *would not have been possible* without the support of Lusi Lukova, Sam Ollstein, Ali Gradischer, Sam Hopple, Jill Walsh, Karl Burkheimer, Jordan Chan-Mendez, Michael Cahill, and many others. I am beyond lucky to have you in my life.
