You get invited to a Dodgers game. You’re not into baseball but it’s Miguel’s one hundred and thirty fourth birthday and he would like you to come. On your drive there you notice it’s barren, there isn’t a soul to be seen. City of Ghosts. You stop to grab a bouquet of white flowers at the supermarket and you see no cashier so you leave without paying.They’re for Miguel. You arrive at the parking lot in Dodger blue. Only cars and no people around. […]
You’re hearing voices but the stadium is empty.
Spirits of those whose homes it was built upon.
Los Angeles.
You pull out your phone to text Miguel but his text messages disappeared.
The wind is blowing all your flowers away.
You walk back to your car and you find a ticket.
Another parking ticket? No.
A one-way ticket, you gotta go.

I see myself
as I break out from my relentless swaddle
What have I become?
My wings are stained
with the eyes of the owl who haunts me
I have no insides
I am only a mirror
Let me walk the earth again!
Let me move my limbs without symmetry
There is no freedom in flight
I will never reach the fickle moon
I cannot live in shame
I choose the flame

Phallic sex toys had gained a new uncomfortable meaning. I made casts out of them. The originals are unbreakable but the copies are frail. I reassembled the pieces, they resembled the ruins of a broken empire. At the highest tower, a vile of factory-made Testosterone. The base: cast from a toilet lid.

Cast of my foot. I had been purging my closet of accessories used throughout my life as a woman. I was convinced that I was no longer attached.

After 8 years of having a pair of silicone prosthetics inside my breasts, I had them explanted. Both surgeries were performed by my father. I kept the prosthetics, they were branded with the word ‘Silimed’. Here, the explants perform as hamburger buns, cradling a raw beef burger patty. A cup of milk is being decanted.

I installed atop of it the silicone mammary implants that were inside me for 8 years.

The meat began to ooze and rot, Camille’s flowers wilted, and Sam’s limbless torso waited patient-ly.

I was designated a space within the gallery to instal my work. I noticed this wall, which served as a dividing segment within the room. I requested an extra 8 inches of wall space: the edge of the room divider. I built a mirror mounted on wood to fit the edge. The mirror reflected my installation across the room: I often find myself in borders. Exhibited as part of the group show ‘We Are Making People’s Days as Much as We are Ruining Them” which took place at Otis College of Art & Design.
