This multidisciplinary uninterrupted work masterfully intertwines two vastly different pieces to create a unique viewer experience.
IG PUT ME ON is the opener to the larger work THEM. A collaborative multi-media/performance art piece that explores the importance of social media on body image and culture. Utilizing sculpture, performance, film, and live video feed in hopes to further research mans wants and needs to assimilate and consume what is popularly liked online.
THEM was inspired by ideas posed in Dostoyevsky’s "The Brothers Karamazov". This choreographic work explores the validity of God through the punishment of the innocent, questions the
reason for sin and investigates the pressure from others to convert to a different set of beliefs.
