Medals for the Unseen, 2025
Medals for the Unseen is a photographic series that draws on the visual language of institutional honors and redirects it toward forms of labor that are typically unacknowledged. Each image presents a digitally rendered medal inscribed with a specific act, such as “Asked for Help” or “Held the Boundary,” referencing moments of caregiving, emotional regulation, and daily maintenance.
Developed through digital rendering and shaped by the time constraints of caregiving, the work exists as a first form. It uses the structure of recognition to point to forms of labor that sustain systems but are rarely made visible.

Virtual Installation over Ree Morton, One of the Beaux Paintings (#4), 1975.
"I began this work with a deep research into Ree Morton’s work. I discovered her old sketchbooks and found it astonishing and disheartening that the questions she was asking and the concerns she had as a woman artist in the 1970s are still an issue today. Even after 45 years, we’re still having the same conversation! In response to this, I created videos of endlessly washing and peeling apples to suggest the constant brainwashing and expectations to conform to gender norms, that society and the media impose on women. My goal for this AR is to acknowledge the subliminal messages of gender norms by sending that message back in the form of a scrolling text in the spirit of Jenny Holzer. We are all more than our signifiers and the expectations placed on us and must no longer shy away from putting ourselves in an assertive place.
