I looked at myself in the clear surface of the enlarged doll display case • and I could see myself vividly • but similar to a hologram I could thru my image as well • so my vision oscillated between myself and those surrounding me • when my image blurred out of focus • I began to see myself for a moment not as myself but someone else • I’ve tried hard to see myself not as myself but from someone else’s perspective • I’ve tried blurring my eyes in the mirror • I’ve tried imaging how I’m perceived in the world • but somewhere between the foreground and background I saw myself as if it was a first time meeting • and simultaneously I saw everyone that came before me that led to my creation (in the ghostly image of my face) and I started to tear up • unlearning the way I was taught to view myself • and instead • seeing the beautiful chain reaction of endless events that led to this human standing in the case • revealing themselves all at once • staring at my current manifestation • wondering • who is she? • I may never fully know • but • she’s stunning • Doll (Grandmother’s Oyama Doll) (Kabuki Actors • transition MTF), 2026 • Thank you @leonjh1111 @curativeprojects for inviting me to take part in this performance festival Public Spirits based off the iconic publication High Performance @pamuseum_ • PAM being something I’ve never seen before • a museum dedicated to performance art • thank you so so so much for dressing me @suekooshimoto and @kimono_sk_la for these amazing videos and photographing me and assisting me and @yoyogi1216 for this stunning makeup • thank you @nicksculptor for being an incredible craftsman and also for being so generous and accommodating • thank you Sean Forrester for the lighting

Thursday evening last week there was a large fire at my building. I am so grateful for the incredible work of the Los Angeles Fire Department for saving my studio, my pets, and all of my art. It was the closest thing to a miracle I’ve ever experienced.

Comunidad y nuevas conexiones ✨ Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a Lolo Cutumay unos de los integrantes del grupo Cutumay Camones, gracias a @crispyhexagons1 ❤️‍🔥 Lolo y sus compañeros fueron parte del movimiento de cultura popular en El Salvador durante los años 80s y sus canciones fueron clave para la solidaridad internacional por El Salvador. Él sigue activo en la música y protesta con @losjornalerosdelnorte acá en Los Ángeles 🔥🔥🔥 Para mí el canto revolucionario, el canto de Centroamérica son un gran inspiración. Es el canto del pueblo, el canto de mi mamá. Y son canciones que resuenan a la lucha popular hoy en día contra el régimen de excepción y los desalojos en El Salvador. Por eso me da mucho gusto compartir que mi primera programación de mi proyecto @centralamericansoundarchive va ser sobre la música revolucionaria de Nicaragua y El Salvador. Les invito a escuchar estas canciones este viernes el 9 y el siguiente 16 de Octubre 12-2pm en @pamuseum_ . Para el 16 Lolo y mis amigos @crispyhexagons1 @colochapower van a tocar unas canciones. Completamente GRATIS y habrá pupusas para comer. Muchísimas gracias a todos los que han colaborado para este evento 🙏🏽🔥 @lacispes @lkroxana @pamuseum_ @salvieswholunch @camhacsula @politicalgraphics #cutumaycamones

Thank you to everyone who joined us for “ACTION = LIFE,” presented by LACE and the Performance Art Museum (PAM) as part of @oneinstitutela’s “Circa: Queer Histories Festival” at STORIES: The AIDS Monument. The evening brought together a range of performances that transformed the space, from spoken word and poetry to rituals and intimate acts of protest. Through a series of five-minute performances, each artist brought their own perspective to the Monument, reflecting on queer history, identity, and the ongoing importance of gathering in community. We’re so grateful to all of the artists who participated and to everyone who came out to listen, witness, and be part of such a powerful and moving evening. ♥︎ —— Photos by Nicolette Jackson-Pownall.
