Chronic Condition, 2026

These works consider the often unspoken condition of chronic pain and the remarkable ways the body adapts in order to continue functioning. Through blown and assembled glass forms that reference anatomical systems, organs, supports, and interventions, the work explores tension, adaptation, and intervention in bodily systems.

Chronic conditions often remain unseen, requiring individuals to navigate the world through continuous acts of compensation, adjustment, and endurance while still projecting functionality. These sculptures make visible the body’s hidden labor: its ability to brace, reroute, suspend, repair, and persist. Rather than positioning the body as simply healthy or unhealthy, the exhibition considers it as a dynamic system in constant negotiation with itself.
