sleep & the senses
(2026)

Throughout 2026 i had the privilege of working under the ARx Philly grant, an initiative that brought together 9 artists & 9 scientists, who collaborated in pairs to produce work that bridged the gap between science and art. My dear friend Sara Bernardez Noya & i used our love for sleep science to create a series of artworks that would help our viewers (1) develop a better understanding of sleep, and potentially (2) adopt healthier sleep habits. The opening reception was held at uCity Square in Philadelphia on September 24, 2026.
