“RUSH,” a sensory overload of color, music, and emotion, is an art installation that peeks into the brain of an artist’s creative explosion.

Before being hospitalized for a week and half, I was deprived of sleep, imbibing on weed and alcohol, vibrating at a higher frequency, and experiencing an unending creative outburst. “RUSH” documents my journey from madness into clarity through a range of emotions: pain and anguish, exuberance and euphoria- all felt and expressed intensely over the course of a three week period in Summer 2020.

This being my first solo exhibition, I am so honored to be able to bring my art to the public eye this Spring 2022 at Uncommonly Studio in Ridgewood. Since my manic episode, hospitalization, and Bipolar diagnosis during the height of the pandemic, I have yearned to welcome people into my brain through my drawings, video experiments, and synesthetic improvisational music.

By attending this, you will actively engage in the work of helping people understand themselves through witnessing my own process of understanding. Thank you for your support!
