The exhibition was divided into four sections, each reflecting one stage of competency.
The first stage reflects imagination, or what I interpreted as unconscious incompetence. To me, this is the stage of limitless curiosity, exciting, emotional, and ungrounded at the same time.
The installation takes the form of a fort, inspired by the way children build temporary spaces out of blankets, fabric, and found materials. I used muslin to reference the act of early experimentation: sketching ideas, testing forms, and learning through play.
The work reflects moments from both childhood and adulthood where imagination became a tool for discovery.
Fort____10 ft (L) × 9 ft (W) × 4.7 ft (H)

Tell Me More is a wooden sculpture sited on the seating platform in front of The Cooper Union’s Foundation Building. Responding to a historically significant yet constantly evolving space, the piece abstracts two human bodies seated in conversation. Constructed from wood, the sculpture reflects the durability and continuity of human presence shaped by daily interaction. The phrase “Tell Me More,” placed on a wooden circle behind the forms, functions as a threshold, inviting dialogue while emphasizing the platform as a space that remains both solid and continually reshaped by those who occupy it.

The exhibition was divided into four sections, each reflecting one stage of competency.
The second section of the exhibition reflects confrontation, which relates to conscious incompetence, the moment when awareness begins and tension forms. This stage became a space where remembering and rethinking collided.
The series of nine vehicle sculptures, All Roads Always Lead to Heaven, was created through memory. Each vehicle pulls from moments, textures, and experiences that stayed with me over time. Instead of recreating vehicles realistically, I wanted them to feel like the way memory works: fragmented, emotional, and constantly transforming.
The series begins with the biblical verse:
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air...”
— Genesis 1:26–28
What stayed with me in this passage was the idea of dominion. Over time, I began to understand dominion not as control over others, but as agency over yourself — the ability to grow, transform, and be born again.
I became interested in the symbolism of birds and fish, both of which experience what I interpreted as a double birth: first through the egg, then through hatching. That idea of rebirth became important to the sculptures. Small eggs appear throughout the surfaces of the vehicles, representing transformation, renewal, and the possibility of becoming something new again.
The textures of the sculptures reflect both my Caribbean roots and the relationship between land and sea. I wanted the surfaces to feel weathered, layered, and alive, almost as if the vehicles themselves were carrying memory.
The color palette came from another thought I kept returning to: people often say we cannot fully see color in our minds. But I believe I can see light. I think about the horizon, the division between sky and land, and the way light exists between those spaces. That became the emotional direction for the colors within the series.
Although the sculptures resemble vehicles, they are really about the human vessel and the experience of moving through life. I intentionally removed wheels and steering wheels from many of the forms. Even though we often believe we are fully in control, life constantly reminds us otherwise.
For me, the word “heaven” in All Roads Always Lead to Heaven is not strictly about the afterlife. It is about peace. Sometimes heaven is as simple as hearing someone say, “It’s okay.”
The work became a reminder to confront memory without becoming trapped inside it, to revisit the past while still allowing yourself to rethink it. No matter how difficult the road becomes, there is still movement toward peace.

All Roads Always Lead to Heaven is a series of nine vehicle sculptures created through memory. Rather than recreating vehicles realistically, I wanted them to feel fragmented, emotional, and constantly transforming, similar to the way memory itself functions.

The exhibition was divided into four sections, each reflecting one stage of competency.
The fourth stage reflects intuition, where imagination and skill begin to move together as one. This stage connects to conscious competen the ability to perform something through effort, repetition, and understanding until it eventually becomes natural.
This section of the exhibition focuses on parenthood, guidance, and the idea of a higher power. The work takes the form of a large white steel sculpture holding an umbrella, positioned opposite the first installation about imagination. While the exhibition begins with curiosity, it ends with protection and understanding.
The sculpture comes from a memory I have from childhood. One morning, my father was walking me to school during heavy rain. We were unprepared and did not have an umbrella. As we walked, my father noticed that the wind was pushing the rain forward instead of directly downward, so he told me to walk behind him.
When I arrived at school, I realized that while the other children were soaked, the only parts of me that were wet were my shoes and the bottom of my pants.
At the time, I did not fully understand what my father had done for me.
Years later, I remembered this moment while speaking to my younger sister after my father had corrected her behavior. She did not understand why he was being so hard on her. I told her that when I was younger, I also did not understand why my father guided me the way he did. It was only after reaching my destination that I understood he had been protecting me the entire time.
That memory became important to this work. Parenthood, and even faith itself, can sometimes feel difficult to understand while you are moving through it. You may not realize what is protecting or guiding you until much later.
This is where intuition exists for me. My father’s instinct to protect and guide came naturally to him through experience, care, and understanding. In the same way, there may one day be moments where I carry that same guidance forward for someone else.
