resist
Conduit Gallery, Dallas, TX
February 19 - April 2, 2022
Resist is a site-specific installation—comprised of painting, silks, and audio—that celebrates rest and finding solace in nature, while simultaneously reflecting on systems that harm both us and the environment. The work contemplates how the institution that is white supremacist patriarchal capitalism encroaches on our search for peace, safety, and freedom, even within our own backyards. Yet, at the center of it all is resistance through reclaiming our time, indulging in leisure and pleasure, and being everything we are.
