Work in Progress

Time Will Tell is an experimental, voice-over-driven narrative exploring the dialogue between my past and present. Rooted in my own experiences, it also resonates with broader BIPOC stories through familiar rhythms, reflections, and lived realities. The piece prioritizes feeling and connection over conventional storytelling, examining memory, identity, and the ways personal histories ripple outward.

The work began at Womxnhouse Detroit 2024, where I transformed a bedroom into a reflective space using Mylar and crystals, inviting viewers to sit, watch, and contemplate within an environment of light and introspection. The film later screened at the Independent Film Festival Ypsilanti (IFFY). The University Musical Society personally invited the film to be featured, partnering with IFFY to highlight its immersive sound design and interactive audience experience.

While at Womxnhouse, viewers encountered the vision of ten contemporary womxn artists within a home transformed into an immersive exhibition. Curated by Asia Hamilton and Laura Earle, The Art of Being Womxn in America Today brought together installations, performance, and video work reflecting on identity, creativity, and care.

Time Will Tell was created as part of Womxnhouse Detroit, an initiative led by Asia Hamilton, founder of Norwest Gallery, dedicated to supporting BIPOC, women, and nonbinary artists through mentorship, exhibitions, and community-centered programs. Each cohort transforms a home into an interactive experience, blending art and storytelling as acts of reflection and reclamation.
