Parallel Play

This installation began as a special project during my senior year at the University of Kansas. I wanted to explore perspective and how different it is for every individual, especially during a time like Covid when our realities were vastly different person to person. This installation grew and has been performed at three different venues with over thirty performances. More information on this installation as well as other projects can be found in the Design page.
