Chimera

Chimera (2025) is a hanging installation that expands the definition of our human bodies and sense of self. Soft fabric shapes of maybe-creatures curve and flow along a central human spine. Without prior planning or sketching, these flora and fauna shapes slowly find their place within the greater body, settling together like organic puzzle pieces. Chimeras are emblematic of complex identities, and challenge the idea that distinct features don’t belong together. A chimeric identity rejects our narrow understanding of “the Human” and offers a more expansive sense of self, where category and empathy transcend the borders of our physical bodies.
