to see the earth before the end of our world draws its name from the poetry book by Ed Roberson and explores our evolving relationship with the natural environment. The work manifests as a collection of videos and screenshots that explore what it means to increasingly live so much of our lives on screen in an age of societal and environmental catastrophe.
Street view of One Hundred Steps is of my estranged father’s hometown in Trinidad. in the garden #6, is a screenshot from a webcam recording taken in a garden in Victoria, British Columbia during the height of the pandemic. Through these pieces, I examine how screens mediate and shape our understanding of space, place, and belonging.
