In my research and art I explore how humans become aware of ourselves, the I, or our self , combined with the increasing complexities of navigating multifaceted identities in the wake of exponential online activity and migratory movement. It is an analysis of understanding and defining the home through the navigation of non-places . I use technology to creatively work through and record our experiences.
