Nomad II, Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, CA

Occupying the architectural void of the industrial space, American Horror Story is a site-specific intervention that explores the violent tension between the physical body and its digital proxy. Across the room, four pairs of nylon tights are spanned and distorted by high-tension metal wires, stretching the fabric into translucent, skeletal silhouettes that mimic the pull of an anatomical rack. Suspended within these visceral, mesh skins are mobile phones—glowing digital organs acting as externalized memories. Displaying a series of hypnotic videos that navigate the layers of the self and the process of ego death. These bodies are tethered to the gallery floor by long, exposed charging cables that act as umbilical cords, providing a constant, parasitic life-flow to the screens. As air moves through the space, the entire structure sways in a low-frequency rhythm, creating a collective, shallow breath that mirrors our own fragile dependency on the systems that sustain and eventually dissolve our identity.
