The Reinforcements Solo Show @ BAXTER ST


On view June 4 - August 16, 2025 
NEW BAXTER ST LOCATION >> 154 Ludlow Street, NYC
Opening Wednesday, June 4th, 6-8PM 

The Reinforcements (2023-ongoing) is a series of photo collages that visualizes the labor history of Black and immigrant women of color in America’s corporate workplace. This is the first showing of all the collages I’ve made in the last two years. In the middle of the gallery space is a special framing device for my digital collages, an installation of handmade ladders that featuring the “broken rung”, a concept which identifies a critical early-career obstacle for women that is even more pervasive than the glass ceiling.
