This work emerges from a constellation of decolonial, and abolitionist thought that proposes undoing existing Western frameworks of modernity and reshaping society in meaningful ways. I am building a visual lexicon of shapes, patterns and illustrations that transmit collective and personal narratives as they relate to The Politics of Care.  I examine how the use of different materials, found objects, and textures can deepen the visual experience and invite touch into the dialogue. I am interested in building structures that through their design imply meaning. This work signals a shift from individualism to the ethics of interconnection and shared vulnerability. Queer joy is at the fore of this project; it reframes care as expansive, communal, and resistant to oppression, where joy itself becomes a practice of survival, solidarity, and relational flourishing.
