Collaborative performance with Bunt Agency at 
PleasePlease Studios in Brooklyn, NY. April 10, 2025

Two models in white outfits designed by Ciara Fitzgerald became living canvases as I painted them in real time. Over 15 minutes, they slowly reached toward each other while I moved between them, playing the role of ‘destiny’ until their hands finally touched. The piece explored intimacy,  with the metaphor: “You will find love when you are ready to receive it.” Hand-painted outfits were later sold to benefit Trans Lifeline.

How to Fuck a Demon (2025)
A 20-minute video and sound performance conceived as ritual and exorcism—an intimate confrontation with darkness, desire, and the psyche. Written, performed, recorded, and produced by me, the work merges poetry, sound, and video to explore the space between destruction and creation, pain and pleasure.

The demon is not external but a facet of the self; to overcome it, one must merge with it. Through a visceral and eroticized offering of the body, I place myself as a sacrifice to evoke it. Poetry serves as the film’s psychic thread—spoken-word passages become spells, repetition becomes incantation. Layered vocals, ambient distortions, and fragmented loops destabilize the boundaries between the real and the surreal.

Like Pluto that reaches the death to bloom in the bottom.

this video explores love as death and rebirth. 

As an image created from a damage innocence, or a poetic reflexion of a condition, maybe as a form of awareness, or to create beauty with pain?

Poetry can be all bullshit or not.

How close to poetry are you today? 

OR AN EMOTION THAT IS A SOUND.

An understanding??

'IRONIZE MONSTROSITY OR YOU WILL BECOME A VICTIM OF IT.'

my dad used to say something like that.

so this video is a 

satire of my pussy 

or

a parody of sexism 

or

an ironic representation of what being a objectified feels like.

'interview with a broken narcissist' 5:00min video (2022) 

June 20th, 2022

I've been working non-stop non-sleep non-eating for the last 2 weeks editing this video statement of 6min long:

'Interview with a broken narcissist'

I took some shots talking about:

gender, sexism, sexual archetypes, stereotypes of beauty, femininity, objectification of women's bodies, toxic & fragile masculinity.
