Susurro

Susurro (A whisper) is a solo exhibition I presented at The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum in May 2025. The exhibition brought together new works, pieces from the past five years, and selected objects from the Frost Art Museum’s collection, reactivating conversations I’ve been shaping around shared histories of migration, ecology, and resilience.

Throughout the exhibition, I used conduits: symbolic anchors such as spider webs, wind, and wax that gesture toward transformative states. The wax works evoke scars and candle remnants, their altered forms marking time as both erosion and accumulation. Spiders appear in drawings and photographs, suspended mid-motion. Their webs form diagrams of fragility and resilience—meticulous architectures vulnerable to wind and chance. The invisible motion of wind, given form through flowing textiles and sound, mirrors the unpredictable forces that shape both physical and emotional worlds.

While the exhibition spans multiple media, it is my photographic process and the alchemy of the darkroom that most clearly reflects my formal preoccupation with transformation. The emergence of an image from silver and light, the pull from the unknown to the known, remains central to my understanding of form.
