Presumptions and stereotypes adhere to narratives of childhood adoption. A specific otherness is felt when adjacent to the spaces of people of color, men, women, and whiteness when one's perception of self is separated from its physical reflection. "PROXIMITY" is a video installation born out of an investigation of identity, racial authenticity, and the determining role others play in our sense of self.

Shown at the Sheila C. Johnson Gallery, New York, NY
