Diaspora creates its own cartographic technologies — systems for connection across distance. My work investigates how displacement generates coordinates for belonging beyond dominant cartographies, affecting bodies, species, and materials alike.
I redirect imperial technologies like LiDAR (originally military) toward critical, relational engagement. My scans refuse extractive capture: point clouds remain fragmentary, unmeshed. Scanning becomes contact rather than possession.
This practice materializes as layered installations: printed, protected by wax, woven into textiles. Digital and physical coexist. These installations function as infrastructures where bodies, technologies, and histories enter into relation — spaces that gather what has been scattered.
