L3b1a + D4b1a2: Original Instructions

Mixed media · gold thread on original atlas page · 2025–2026 · From the series The Ritual of Inherited Code

A 1899 North Polar Regions atlas page. Gold thread connects every leyline through the centre — through 90°N, through L3b1a + D4b1a2, through the two haplogroups separated by 60,000 years of divergence that share a single East African maternal ancestor. Haiti, Guyana, Congo, Sudan, Palestine, Bangladesh, Western Sahara. Arrhenius's 1896 climate warning in the artist's hand at the top. CO₂ then: 295 parts per million. CO₂ now: 420. The thread does not radiate outward from a source. It passes through — accumulating at the centre with each pass. As DNA passes through generations. As mycelium passes through soil.

Water Connects Us to Our Ancestors' Dreams

Mixed media · 2023

A tale of colonialism, capitalism, and climate change. Water as memory. Water as contested territory. Water as the medium through which ancestral intelligence travels forward in time.

Undulating Memories: Echoes of Yemọja

Mixed media · 2023

Yemọja — Yoruba orisha of water, motherhood, and the living world. The undulation of memory across bodies of water and bodies of flesh. What the ocean carries that the archive cannot.

The dream as carrier of ancestral intelligence. What surfaces when the waking mind is still enough to listen.

Present

Birdsong as visible wave. Spider webs as sonic instruments. Dew as lens.

Dystopian Dreams, Electronic Graves

Sound · 2021

An immersive sonic exploration of how we imagine the future — and whose imagination is centred. The dystopia is not a warning. It is a description of the present. 10 minutes 31 seconds.

The Myth of the Ego

Sound · 2020

The ego as the structure that mistakes intelligence for possession. A sonic investigation into what dissolves when the myth releases its grip. Twenty-three minutes and forty-four seconds of undoing.

Movement

Future

The place where what is grown and what is built collapse into each other.

Life is Art: Kinship in the Age of Cyborgs

Immersive · ongoing

What does kinship look like when the boundaries between biological and digital are no longer fixed? Cyborg Shamanism as a practice of belonging across categories. The future of relation.

Medusa: The Transformation

Immersive · ongoing

Medusa not as monster but as portal. Radical transformation as the condition of the future. What becomes possible when the thing that was weaponised against you becomes the source of your power.

The Ritual of Inherited Code

Research practice · ongoing

Soil, DNA, sound, algorithms. The four intelligences through which ancestral pattern becomes legible. A private primary research practice feeding the public artistic work. The future the research is pointing toward.
