TRANSLATIONS 19,546

TRANSLATIONS 19,546 is a durational archival body of work responding to the ongoing disappearance and displacement of Ukrainian children.

The project unfolds across books, images, sound, and performance, resisting completion while insisting on record.

Translation is used here not as conversion, but as a method for holding what cannot be fully known.
