Alum Explores the Power of Memory in Hewitt Gallery Exhibit

I'm incredibly grateful to MMC for the thoughtful article highlighting my BFA solo exhibition, Rituals and Ruptures. Developed during my senior year, this body of work explores how memory is embedded in everyday rituals such as eating, grooming, and sleeping, and how these moments become spaces where the desire for control meets life's unpredictability.

Using materials gathered from my daily life, including coffee grounds, oatmeal, bedding, strands of hair, watercolor pigment, and cheesecloth, I created process-based works that reflect on transformation, impermanence, and emotional weight. As I shared in the article, “I began thinking about materiality and setting and the weight that certain objects have, how some are heavier than others.”

The show is on view through October 14 at 221 E 71st St in the Hewitt Gallery. I’d love for you to visit.
