parallelsbetweenus.com - 2019parallelsbetweenus.com is my way of navigating the experience of being in an interracial relationship. My partner and I are both children of immigrants and immigrants ourselves. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, we carry over traditions and the culture of our parents' homes.

Finding these parallels relieve the anxieties of struggling to adopt each other's cultures, and in doing so, becomes an act of love.

ETERNALLYMOVING.COM - 2018A non-linear poem about link rot, a phenomenon in which hyperlinks on the web become permanently unavailable, thereby making them useless. The cause of link rot is typically because the web page that a link points to no longer exists, in which case you receive a 404 error page. In this time and age, web content is dynamic and easy to change thus making it very easy for pages to move, be renamed or be removed all together. Born-digital content, such as webpages are susceptible to permanent loss.

ORIGINOFTHE.NET - 2017A mythic retelling of the history of the internet, bringing attention to the lesser known vestiges of the World Wide Web. Inspired by classic text-based role-playing games, the interactive website leads the user like a tourist through its bowels, showcasing artifacts from internet history on its web pages.

By allowing the user to influence its narrative by choosing between hyperlinks, this work replicates the experience of navigating online space within an experimental form of storytelling.
