Pockets, Twenty-Twelve (2017)︎Desktop documentary︎︎Final project - UCLA course, Electronic Literature︎A hypermediate exploration of teenage anguish making reference to the unrealized Mayan apocalypse of 2012.
This piece takes thoughts and words directly from my high school diaries to investigate how my failure to engage in hookup culture created a different kind of “Mayan apocalypse,” one more personal and contrived.The video makes light of the ways in which I compared impending global cataclysm to a melodrama of my own making; 


	 I feared the world would end in 2012 (my junior year),and so would my life, without ever having had my first kiss.
The piece, however, never discredits these anxieties as childish and unjustified. Instead, the viewer is propelled sympathetically into a worldview both intimately specifc and extremely ordinary.Across a series of tableaus featuring gifs, scrolling marquees, and overlapping text windows, the disjointed storyline proceeds with increasing chaos. After all, believing that you’re innately unkissable can feel like the end of the world, especially when you’re 16.

	Santa Ana Winds (2019)︎Desktop documentary/Video Poem︎︎Class project - UCLA course, Writing for the Internet︎A video poem about waking up from a sad dream on a windy Los Angeles night.This piece uses the desktop as a canvas upon which the poem is “performed” (typed). The overlapping windows on the screen - which together create the video’s mise-en-scène - parallel the open window referenced in the poem. 


	Here, open windows are a site of both possibility and fear - just like the Santa Ana winds, whose deceptively inviting warmth has also been the cause of destructive wildfires across southern California.A closed curtain atop an open window sets the stage for an eerie late-night vision, and acts as a metaphor for the double edged sword of vulnerability.

	101 to the 405 (2019)︎Video Poem︎︎Class project - UCLA course, Writing for the Internet︎A splitscreen video poem making use of dialogue boxes and Google Street View to imbue a sense of personal claustrophobia.  The lefthand side of the splitscreen takes language from an old diary entry at a time in my life where things felt at a standstill - spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The diary fragments appear in dialogue boxes which “prompt” the viewer to hit the “Break” or “Gas.”  


	The righthand side is a looped video of screengrabs showing the Google Street View of the US-101/I-405 interchange in Los Angeles, California - an interchange that I was deeply familiar with while I lived at my parents’ home and communted to school my sophmore year of college.The video is presented as though it were interactive, yet no interactivity is afforded to the viewer. The last dialogue box presents only one option: “Go.” Even in this moment of personal stagnation, the narrator-participant has no choice but to “Floor it” and hope that their circumstance will move past meaningless routine towards personal autonomy.︎︎︎Watch the full video here

	Not For Sale (2018)︎Video Essay︎︎Final project - UCLA course, Performance and Protest︎︎In collaboration with Sophia DoQui and Jem Garcia︎An anti-advertisement that ridicules so-called “body positive” campaigns to expose the way mainstream media coopts and comodifies body positivity to sell products to women.Neoliberal monetization and sloganization of the historical fat-acceptance movement vaguely centers “body positivity” while relegating intersections of race, ability, and gender expression to the periphery;Not For Sale rejects this erasure by uplifting the voices of those marginalized by the “body positivity” movement as it manifests microcosmically in Aerie’s commodity-feminist campaign, #AerieReal.  


	Not For Sale pushes back against illusory suggestions of radical action and instead confirms the necessity of social movements to practice reflection and avoid hypocrisy. The anti-advertisement asks: Have Things Really Changed That Much? And promptly answers its own question - not with cynicism, but with a vision of the future populated by the demands and aspirations of its contemporary radicals. Not For Sale argues that contrary to the insidious capitalist consumerism model, freedom is in fact free.

	Lick Your Wounds (2019)︎Video Poem︎︎Personal Project︎A fragmented, nonlinear monologue adapted from text messages sent to an ex-lover in April of 2018. An experiment in video poetry, Lick Your Wounds is a desperate plea for romantic optimism. This piece uses clips from Alexander Hammid and Maya Deren‘s experimental documentary, “The Private Life of a Cat,” interspersed with original footage and text.The numbered text fragments reflect the order in which the messages were originally sent to my ex-lover.
  


	 Mixing up their order not only creates new meanings and associations between these fragments, but weakens the argument of the “Optimist” (whose perspective is featured in the video) by drafting a monologue that’s quite dense and hard to follow. This is meant to reflect the near-impossibility of successfully getting a complicated point across over text messages, and the ceaseless tug-and-pull between romantic optimists and pragmatists - who each believe their perspective the most appropriate and correct. &#38;nbsp;︎︎︎Watch the full video here

	All the Letters I Sent You (2019)︎107 pages︎︎Final project - UCLA course, Writing for the Internet︎
All the Letters I Sent You relocates an alphabetized list of 17,500 words sent by one half of a long-distance romantic partnership onto 100 distinct postcards. 


The document transposes the digital immateriality of the text-message archive into physical form. It considers two separate yet interrelated meanings of “letters”: the representational symbols that make up the alphabet as well as the written or printed communications addressed to a specific recipient.


Long-distance text-messaging – especially between those in romantic relationships – is an exchange of “letters” in its own right. Every heart emoji, exclamation point and question mark holds weight. Every word-choice bears the burden of conveying feelings – complex and confusing as they may be – without the convenience of social cues afforded by physical proximity. Time spent drafting, interpreting and fawning over texts to and from romantic partners thus proves an act of emotional labor. More often than not, a long-distance partner exists solely within the frame of a phone or computer screen. When such a relationship ends, therefore, the text-message archive remains a painful or poignant reminder of what once was. Time-stamps and read-receipts only contribute to feelings of eeriness and ultra-specificity. 


	There inherently exists an emotive, erotic charge to that which is sensory. A love-text on a phone screen, like a love-letter that one can physically hold, carries emotional resonance. By converting this specific digital text archive into a tangible book form, its affective quality becomes amplified. The words materialize and hold both literal and symbolic weight, representing the emotional labor and care invested in a relationship that ultimately fell apart – one now marked by pain, confusion and betrayal. 

The alphabetized catalog conveys physical and numerical immensity, making concrete a bond that existed primarily through digital channels. The list’s lack of grammatical coherence not only reflects the inherent confusion of long-distance relationships but obscures the intended meanings of the original text-messages. Such obstruction, however, provides new, accidental associations, connotations and repetitions. Additionally, the alphabetizing list generator made several errors; they remain in the piece as evocative interruptions that add interest to an otherwise predictable – yet particular – list.

Ultimately, the cathartic process of cataloging these “letters” turns the often anxiety-inducing, emotionally draining practice of texting into something methodical and direct.

	Queers in Love at the End of the Sidewalk (2017)︎93 pages︎︎Midterm Project - UCLA course, Electronic Literature︎Queers in Love at the End of the Sidewalk is a re-generative poem that narrates a story of two queer women who navigate intimacy and/in privacy.Living under heteronormativity, the public performance of queer relationships often remains forcibly hidden. The fleeting, yet significant freedom of Anna Anthropy’s Twine, “Queers in Love at the End of the World” (2013), therefore parallels the “end of the sidewalk, away from public gaze,” where the two lovers can fully express themselves without fear.
  


	 The text of this work was copied, “wread,” and edited from Anthropy’s Twine page; remnants of her coding remain, removing interactivity - and thus, agency - from the reader as a reminder of the forcible, heterosexual “passing” imposed on queers who love in public.&#38;nbsp;︎︎︎Read the full text here
