Crossing Point is an ongoing body of work that examines migration, belonging, and inherited memory through landscape and the moving body. Grounded in research on Afro-Caribbean migration from Jamaica to Costa Rica, the project considers both literal and metaphorical borders—how land, labor, and language shape one’s sense of home. I continuously use my own body as a performative site, navigating spaces marked by displacement, erasure, and transition.
​
Blending performance, sculpture, and material inquiry, the work incorporates rope, burlap, and natural dyes—materials that reference ancestral labor and the physical traces of survival carried across generations. Handles and straps recur as motifs, functioning as points of contact, tension, and support. Through repetition in gesture, movement, and language, the work echoes rituals of crossing, waiting, and return.

As Crossing Point continues to unfold, the project expands into immersive installations in which performance activates sculptural elements, mapping personal and ancestral movement onto sculptural terrain. Through sound, site-responsive interventions, and live performance, memory is translated into lived experience. Each iteration functions as a threshold—marking moments of passage and pause, and inviting viewers to consider how bodies move through space, how memory settles, and where we choose to land.
