“Inspired by the iconic green hedges of many West LA homes, Who Are You explores the notion of barriers and boundaries put between ourselves and others in both the physical and psychological realm. Welcoming in onlookers with an organic, verdant aesthetic coaxes engagement to a home while simultaneously blocking out any intimate connection. These works are an invitation for self-examination of one’s emotional state and the similar barriers we impose subconsciously to protect our mental homes from the Other.”
