Untitled (postponed). 2024. A planned 24 hour performance residency to celebrate and reflect on my leaving Parsons School of Design. Performance was going to be Elle (me) and Old Elle (lifesize doll Elle) in an empty room on the 9th floor of the Parsons building, which was the floor of my program, Integrated Design.
I planned to be in the room for a full 24 hours bringing nothing but the doll with me and dressed the same as her, in undergarnments. I asked participants to bring all performance materials,
It was scheduled for May 5, 2024, but had to be canceled: I was arrested and suspended for my participation in the Palestine Solidarity Encampment, so I, nor my peers, were not allowed entry into school that day. I have postponed my celebratory performance until my school divests from selected weapons manufacturers.

Doll Elle: 5’9”x16”x11” printed linen, sewed and stuffed with recycled fabric.
Designed after the historic Ithaca Kitty dolls.
