My Studio Tour vs TOILET GRAFFITI
My seccond vlog explores how anonymous bathroom vandalism reinforces hegemonic power structures.

Full-bodied, Generous and Warm
In my 8th vlog, I open myself up for observation, offering my life to be watched. I raise the question of whether, without others' eyes upon me, I can truly find meaning in my existence.
