SAVE MY BONES IN THE BOX UNDER YOUR BED

Save my Bones in the Box Under Your Bed explores the intimate relationships between humans and the natural world, recontextualizing them through modern dress. My deep connection to nature stems from my Portuguese/Azorean heritage where farm culture and this intimate relationship with the earth is seen as invaluable. By creating my own mythology that represents these sentimental relationships, I’ve adorned them onto the body in a way that celebrates my heritage and carries it into my present.
