​During my Gowanus residency, I created a topographical body of work using found plastic bags and detritus collected from the streets of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, home to 130,000 people, with a diverse population that is 44% Hispanic and 47% foreign-born, Sunset Park faces significant challenges, including poorly maintained housing, high rates of heart disease, obesity, and air pollution. These conditions are woven into the context and fabric of the work, which reflects the resilience and struggles of the community, while also highlighting issues of displacement, environmental health, and social inequity.
