ISO: the exhibition was staged from the 25th to 28th of June 2021 in an empty apartment unit above the Carrall Supermarket in Vancouver. The site-specific installation featured photographs and written excerpts hanging from the walls and curtains, revealing the project ISO. Scraps of white linen were scattered across the floor and stairway, and my personal objects, including books, a film canister containing hair and an empty medicine bottle sat atop the mantelpiece. The visual centrepiece was a bed, constructed from two hundred and seventeen concrete bricks weighing approximately a thousand pounds; each brick was carried up the stairs the evening before by my mother, my brother, my friend, the unit owner and I. The installation also featured three commissioned sound installations by Arlo Spring, emerging from speakers draped in white cloth found throughout the space. _{Photographed by Donnel Garcia, Aidan & Tina Chin, and Kartik K}
