I didn’t set out to make over 300 videos.

I made them because I was disappearing.

After my mother’s murder, years in court, my father’s death, the loss of close friends, and the unraveling of my career and marriage, I needed proof that I was still here. Not as an idea. Not as a diagnosis. As a body moving through time.

So I danced.

In backyards. While maintaining a pool I no longer had any reason to care for. In borrowed spaces. In exhaustion. In anger. In grief.

I filmed everything myself. I layered my own photography and video to create something that felt closer to the inside of my mind—fragmented, symbolic, sometimes beautiful, sometimes not.

These videos are not performances.

They are endurance. They are evidence.

Evidence of survival in a world where certain kinds of suffering are acknowledged in theory, but ignored in practice. Evidence that even when I felt invisible, I was still moving.

This collection is organized by mood rather than chronology. Grief doesn’t move in a straight line. Neither did I. I stopped waiting for a better life and started finding something beautiful in the one I had.

GRIEF AND THE ART OF POOL MAINTENANCE

At night I hear the shots ring
So I'm a light sleeper
The cost of life
It seems to get cheaper
Out in the desert
With my street sweeper
"The war is over"
So said the speaker
With the flight suit on
Maybe to him I'm just a pawn
So he can advance
Remember when I used to dance
Man, all I wanna do is dance
