This mixed-media assemblage responds to Intersections through the convergence of material, memory, and tension. Rusted wire, weathered metal, stitched fabric, paint, and found objects occupy the same visual field, each carrying traces of different histories and purposes. Together, they create a layered space where fragility and resilience coexist.
The suspended saw blade forms a literal crossing point—an industrial tool transformed into a boundary line, bridge, and horizon. Beneath it, fragmented panels of black, gold, white, and blue suggest shifting terrains: night and daylight, land and water, decay and renewal. The woven wire netting cascades downward like an unraveling map or fractured pathway, evoking systems that both connect and confine. Organic gestures emerge within the rigid structure, implying movement through restriction and transformation through disruption.
At its core, the work examines intersections as sites of collision and possibility. Personal and collective histories overlap in the layered surfaces, while contrasting materials speak to divisions between labor and nature, permanence and erosion, protection and vulnerability. The assemblage occupies a liminal state—neither wholly constructed nor fully undone—reflecting the unstable spaces where identities, environments, and social forces continuously reshape one another.

By bringing discarded and utilitarian materials into dialogue with expressive mark-making, the piece magnifies the tension between separation and connection. It invites viewers to consider how intersections are not fixed destinations, but evolving spaces where conflict, adaptation, and new forms of understanding emerge.
