My Ideal is Windy (2023)

Quadraphonic installation commissioned by Experimental Sound Studio and the Chicago Park District

“My Ideal is Windy is a reflection on real and imagined places. I hadn’t lived in Chicago before I moved here two years ago, but I was born here and my parents have always talked about their life here. Well before the time I decided to move to Chicago, I already had a fleshed out picture of the city that I had inherited from the memory of my parents. The installation is a way for me to reconcile my past imagined and current realistic perceptions of Chicago and express the conflicting emotions that emerge from that experience.”
