This is 28

This is 28 is an installation about longing, contradiction, and the overwhelm of possibility. At its center sits a pink faux-fur chair I reupholstered myself — a stand-in for my own body — surrounded by sheer pink curtains, stenciled with a monologue I once recorded alone in my apartment. I spoke freely into my phone about all the things I wanted at once: love and freedom, stillness and chaos, a baby and a blackout. I shared it online without overthinking, and to my surprise, it resonated deeply. Millions of strangers saw themselves in my confusion. In bringing those words into physical space, I wanted to recreate that same feeling: of being held, surrounded, exposed. The sheerness of the fabric offers both softness and transparency, while the chair, made for one, becomes a quiet site of reflection. This is 28 is a portrait of a woman caught between choices - not lost, but vividly alive in uncertainty.
