Rooted in a critique and perception of the patriarchal-capitalist society, this work employs masks as a symbol of the alienation of the "self" while exposing the mechanisms of control embedded in anonymity. It explores questions of identity and the tensions between doubt, conformity, and consent under the gaze.

Work funded by University of Michigan Excel Enterprise Fund and University of Michigan School of Music, Theater and Dance Department.
