This solo exhibition at the Palo Alto Art Center’s Glass Gallery reclaims the domestic sphere as a site of political and social inquiry. By centering the table as a stage for both intimacy and diplomacy, the project bridges the personal and the political through site-specific installation and community programming. Drawing on the contrasting legacies of the mythological Circe and the historical Eleanor Roosevelt, the work uses the language of hosting to navigate the complexities of identity, memory and displacement. Through salvaged ceramics, archival fragments, and participatory sessions, the exhibition examines how everyday rituals—acts of gathering and sharing—can serve as catalysts for social connection.
Medium: Site-specific installation, salvaged ceramics, archival materials, textiles, performance, and participatory events.
