Recent Project: Infecting Space

January 2026

This piece is about having a conversational boundary crossed by a friend. It also contains the turmoil of the aftermath: stress, confusion, and the struggle to move on, alongside the internal realization that the boundary I drew was good and necessary.

I made this piece while in that state. I was reading a psychology book and making doodles in the margins, trying to distract myself. When taking a photo of the doodles, I noticed a blur through the camera, with the lines blurring in a way similar to my boundaries blurring. I began combining doodles I had done that day to form a collage. It visualized my internal feelings at that moment.

Following this artwork, I continued to write an essay about the idea of core behaviors in psychology and how behavioral conditioning cannot sway them as easily. This entire process helped me realize that trying to ignore the feeling was not the move. Instead, I was able to turn the boundary crossing into a learning experience and move forward.
