About this Video

'D-R' investigates my underrepresented community and its transformative rites and rituals through a fabulated 'future archaeologist' Avatar. The archaeologist coaxes out digital relics using several divination tools: sound, dance, doodle-bugging, and tasseography, all things my grandmother has taught me. Once he has sourced his excavation site, he begins to dig, but what he uncovers are entangled, fated timelines and looping histories that have been seeking him lifetime after lifetime.

This body of work reflects on cycles, rebirth, and concurrent timelines, presenting history and memory as continuous processes that do not have a definitive end.

In a sense, each project is a rebirth of the one before it, returning in a new body.
