My skin color does not proclaim my race nor does it claim a notion of ”otherness.” Possible identities float within my mixed racial background: Italian, Cherokee, British Canadian, Moroccan, etc. I wonder about the spare implications offered by my passport: a citizen of the United States of America, female, born in Arlington, Virginia with a couple of visas to South East Asia and stamps throughout Europe. In my practice, I scan the screens of social play and interplay, attempting to better understand the flux of my own identity and, occasionally, to welcome new projections and constructions.
