MEMORY SHREDS (2026) at LACDA through November 2026

MEMORY SHREDS is a collection of LIDAR scans I took of my suburban garden. For me, it is a way to remember

the changing states of life and death that exist within this specific ecosystem. As my memory is not completely

accurate, neither are the images. I find it interesting to see what the phone can capture and what is left out. I think

of the black background as the larger unknown.


I am currently obsessed with the weather, the changing climate, and worried that the coming storms will wash

everything away. Will any of this exist in the future? What is the suburban dream founded upon? Is the urban

wildlife interface sustainable? What does it mean to care for a space in the here and now?
