I am a trans masculine interdisciplinary artist who uses my body as a performative tool. I wield my positionality as a trans person to challenge an audience's perception of my gender. I study the juxtaposition of decay and new life to demonstrate the age of the anthropocene. My themes often come before the materials I use, and I regularly collaborate with artists of differen disciplines to explore new mediums. My skills are in video, new media, photo, performance, sound, and I come from a dance background.
