dandelion dancers

dandelion dancers is an ongoing series exploring how memory is held and reassembled through the body. Working with dried petals and discarded floral matter, I construct small figurative forms that reference gesture, posture, and embodied movement. These materials, often considered waste, become a way to examine how value is culturally assigned and how fragility can hold agency.

As the series developed, the figures were placed within layered environments using open-source scroll paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, prompting reflection on cultural inheritance and ancestral distance. The most recent work incorporates my own photographic landscape, shifting the inquiry toward self-authored space and present-time embodiment.
