Waiting for Enlightenment


This solo exhibition was the culmination of a yearlong conceptual and material engagement in painting, printmaking, drawing, and video. Exploring the ornamentality of queerness across vernacular Buddhism, the series center the snake (and snake-human hybrid) as an avatar and astral body for various states of being: queer melancholia, (dis)embodied pleasures and pains, and transcendence across boundaries, planes, and borders.
