This work is a site-specific response to the history of Western museums, their relationships to imperial expansion, and their history in objectifying and displaying human subjects and artworks from colonized and racialized nations.

My body remains concealed within a pedestal structure while my head is enclosed and exhibited in a display case.

Produced as part of the exhibition “Entre/Between”
