Using boxes, plants, fans and white ceramic deer, I am questioning ideas of migration and displacement. This installation represents a false landscape, but in this depiction I am also representing a type of transitional home. The boxes become a place where home can be found, but when set together they form gradients that mimic land formations. I am interested in how the boxes with the deer create a space that can depict a place of exotic nature and home while also being a place of transition and migration.
