PROJECTS

the artist created a hat that a man and bear can both wear. the hat is fake and it got small black fuzzies all over the place. it was created in 2026 by the artist.

this project explores what it would be like if a baby plushy attacked another baby.

the artist installed his room into an empty room. it costs $1100 a month to maintain this project.

in this project, over a span of five years, the artist gave himself several different haircuts and hairstyles, attempting to shape the style into something reflecting his and the world's internal and external state.

in this project, the artist matched with a stranger on a dating app. the stranger invited the artist to their apartment at which they were cat-sitting. the artist walked over and entered the apartment. after a series of harmless events, the artist began to feel strange. he began to "conceive of the world as a multidirectional structure" and he looked at his hand and thought it looked "weird." his date reported that he began repeating the phrase "the fields" while touching the wall. he was also reported saying "we're plaster." at one point, he noticed text outside of one of the windows of the apartment, and took a picture with his phone. the picture above is the same picture the artist took on his phone.

the artist created a small wooden tower in an attempt to make his ex jealous. it's unclear if the project was successful or not.

the artist's first memory his mother sitting in his father's desk chair, crying. he remembers them kissing on the mouth, in the kitchen, while he sat on the floor and toyed with an electronic CASIO keyboard. his father would leave for small periods of time and then return. eventually, the artist was stuffed into a car with his mother, while the police surrounded a mobile home, and he stopped seeing his father. his father would email him vitriolic outbursts aimed at his mother, and his mother would retort. his parents fought through him, his body and mind a transformed into a sort of unmanned drone that both sides were attempting to hijack through language in order to wound each other. the artist retreated into the alluring safety of a simulated world, on his computer. there, he constructed networks of meaning and connection made up of real people, fictional characters, 3D spaces, and other users. he could have stayed there forever, but then shortly after graduating highschool, the artist's house burned down in a wildfire caused by the negligence of a large gas and electric company. everything he had owned up until he was eighteen was now gone. white ash in the forest. he visited the site after the fire burned itself out, and saw the charred metal remains of his custom built gaming pc, still standing in the middle of the property, where his room was. he later considered that, had the disaster never occurred, he would likely have remained living with his mother forever, in his room, in a digital world. but since it had occurred, he was forced to enter the real world, become employed, and interact with real people and develop in-person relationships. he recieved a small sum of money from the accident.

drawing from these experiences, the artist devised a new poetic method wherein the phrase "from the accident" can be added to the end of to popular rap lyrics. it successfully made him and his friend laugh in bed together for thirty minutes. the project explores possible syntheses of trauma, humor, and pop culture.

in this project, the artist constructed a small white house out of paper and put it somewhere.

-

touching micro scraps of paper required delicate pinches, and without any glue or supporting material, the artist relied on his execution of a series of minor folds and placements that were often being threatened by wind or other enviro-gestural movements i.e. blown air out of my mouth. when it was finally placed, it finally disappeared entirely.

the artist found a pathetic, flattened can of soda with a little straw still in it. the artist projected that someone likely drank it, discarded it, and then, over time, capitalism flattened it into a sad image of itself.

while ambulating on the sidewalk, the artist passed a women's health center. he noticed someone looking out from inside the building's window area. based on the building's stated purpose printed onto exterior signage, the artist could only but assume that she was a woman. this project explores the institution of gender.

in this project the artist became a woman.

in this project the artist ended up in several rooms with different variations of entirely different people. he interacted with them all uniquely, producing a set of variations. while in a room (pictured above), he was instructed to pretend he was high on the drug "kratom" and was filmed drinking matcha tea. three women on the bed took pictures of each other and cuddled, while two men were being filmed having a make-believe violent altercation. one of them fake-died, and the other ran out of the room. the artist was then recorded saying "your fate is sealed."

the artist arranged a specific set of reference-objects, some symbolizing rejection and others symbolizing acceptance and work, in an attempt to get someone to come back (not his ex). the attempt was determined successful under the condition that it is an ongoing, interpretive, incremental and open process.

the artist photographed someone about to get a haircut.

in this project the artist viewed and recorded his life through screens.

in this project, drawing from his own smartphone usage, the artist created an imaginary smartphone on the wall in front of his bed. the smartphone has several imaginary apps installed on which the artist can "click" and then imagine, in his mind's eye. one app is called "frog" in which you torture a frog. but suddenly, the game uses your phone's camera to take a picture of your face, and then instantly morphs an AI version of you into the game that is depicted also torturing the frog. realizing your complicity in the horror, you desperately begin trying to save the frog from yourself.

another app is called "crush," which simulates a dating app such as Hinge or Tinder, but instead of showing you hundreds of different potential matches to match with, the app only features your real crush, and a robust messaging and calling system designed to interact with them. you're able to send pictures back and forth, create art together, and set up dates.

in this project, the artist used HTML to create a digital web project called "PROJECTS" that is hosted on his personal website. he also posted pictures of the project to his instagram account, with text explaining the project. the project was successful.
