Presented from the personal South Florida encounter of Hurricane Irma, Oracle is a swirling hurricane-soaked denim chandelier reminiscent of a baroque ceiling, displays the multi-faceted realities of surviving the environmental and social turbulences of 2017. Blue jeans were collected from the community over the course of hurricane season and left out to be washed by the rainy season, including being tied around fence posts as Irma made her way over South Florida. The audio is a mash up recorded from the events during and after the storm archive both intimate and communal experience of facing a storm. Objects in the installation allude to growing barriers, foreign meddling, attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, and admissions tipping points of the socio-political and environmental climate making up the American landscape resulting in a powerful storm. The 2024-2025 rendition of this installation was placed outside for Hurricane Milton, sprayed with hurricane water from Helene and has more objects collected from the artist since 2017.
