Documentary Feature
The Mirrored Road is a feature-length film that explores the relationship between trauma and memory, questioning the function of home movies as vehicles for truth. What begins as an investigation into the life of my great-grandmother, Bessie—an engineer on the Manhattan Project—gradually transforms into an excavation of my own trauma. As stories of violence and loss surrounding Bessie's early life and those within her orbit come to light, the film's focus shifts inward, revealing the ways memory is inherited, reconstructed, and obscured. Through this unfolding narrative, The Mirrored Road examines the unstable boundary between personal history, family mythology, and the images we rely on to make sense of the past.

This meditative composition of sun-kissed moments from Southern CA in the 1960’s projects a safe, calm social order. Golden-haired girls in pressed polka-dot summer dresses run, scuba dive, ride horses and scooters — all in kaleidoscopic slow motion. They play, as they should, under the serene supervision of a glamorous woman wearing white-rimmed sunglasses.

A recovered reel of Super 8 film shot in 1972 during the Vietnam War era captures a young woman in a long dress moving through a eucalyptus grove. Aged by time, the film’s colors have shifted as helicopters and distant mechanical sounds interrupt the landscape, creating a growing sense of unease.
Through the interplay of archival film and immersive sound, the installation explores memory, fear, and the atmosphere of a generation shaped by war.

A Parade is a hypnotic journey through a sunlit New England landscape and an exploration of gender, representation, and performance in the early 1950s. Drawing on the visual language of postwar America, the work considers how femininity was constructed through ritual, presentation, and spectacle. Its kaleidoscopic editing echoes the fragmentation of women into carefully composed, digestible images—bodies reduced to gestures, poses, and idealized parts for public consumption. As bodies move through carefully ordered spaces, the choreography exposes the fragile boundary between conformity and selfhood, revealing the currents of repression, longing, and desire that pulse beneath the era's polished, conservative façade.
