  • Riis Beach: In Reverberation, my solo exhibition at NARS Foundation in 2026, centered the historically queer People’s Beach in New York City, increasingly threatened by climate change and development. Through experimental photography, installation, and refracted light projection, I trace overlaps between queer precarity and ecological vulnerability. Fragmented imagery echoes the complexity of queer experience and celebrates the rainbowed spaces queers create, spaces like the People’s Beach, that often exist outside the understanding of the machine.

    Installation photography by KC Crow Maddux, Chromatics Studio/Art Doc NYC
