Fighting the Loneliness (of Social Displacement), 2021 RELIC
OUTFITS FABRICATED WITH SAUCE PACKETS

PERFORMANCE
OCTOBER 16TH - 23RD, 2021
(PHOTOGRAPHY BY LILE KVANTALIANI) 
In various barren and urban landscapes, I dressed up in custom-made costumes to fit together scenes that mimic fictional film setups. Between the cheesy staging and costumes constructed solely of sauce-packets, the photographs are made to look as gaudy as possible, questioning “What looks more fake: the questionably staged scene, or a person of Asian descent in the costume of an American Hero?”
