Living in many different places in my life, I engage different locations as the stage set and myself as a performer on the stage, searching for new memories. The chronicle of being at different places reflects how I have become myself today. The performance captured in my work is the result of experiences in these new settings. I make photographs of myself performing to create images of loss and search for identity and retrieving memories from the past and future.

"Walker" is a series of sculpture pieces made out of stacks of clear Plexiglas and printed photos and handwritings on a clear acetate. Photos of the shadow of myself and feet taken at the sites are inserted towards each ends of the stacked Plexiglas sheets. My handwritings describing the scene at the moment are placed in the middle of the stacked sheets.

In this work, Walker, the shadows of myself shot at various locations in Austin, Texas is left at that place as a souvenir of my performance as a new memory maker. Audiences are invited to take a journey as a performer on each stage set, making new memories as they find the souvenir left behind by another performer.
