"Pretending I am Weightless" (2024): Inspired by Incubus' Wish You Were Here, this piece blends whimsy with magical realism. A figure hangs suspended from a glider over La Jolla, not by a typical harness, but through intricate shibari ropes attached to a bamboo pole. This surreal scene floats amidst a sky of blue, green, yellow, and silver, with the song's words splashed across the background, amplifying the sense of freedom and escape.
