Image Virus, 2025. Installation view at ADA Gallery

As a follow up from my previous show Built by Popular Demand, Image Virus examines the climate realities surrounding Lethal Bronzing Disease (LBD): a fatal and communicable bacterial illness affecting palm trees across the U.S.. Spread by minuscule pierce-sucking insects like palm cixiids, LBD becomes a lens through which I interrogate the broader implications of communicable disease, image production, and ecological collapse.

Through an interdisciplinary approach combining research, print media, drawing, and craft-processes, the works in Image Virus draws striking parallels between the ecological phenomena of LBD and cultural/material moments
