OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND

A public installation created in response to the climate crisis and society’s tendency to ignore what feels distant or inconvenient. Inspired by the growing visibility of homelessness in urban spaces, a glowing camping tent was installed and moved through public locations across Austin—from downtown sidewalks to the Texas State Capitol—linking environmental neglect and social displacement as parallel forms of collective blindness. By disrupting everyday space and inviting public attention, the work asked viewers to consider what we choose not to see.

A protest tent on a dirt ground with a sign that reads, 'TEND TO EARTH OR WE ARE ALL HOMELESS.' In the background, there's a cityscape with buildings, trees, parked cars, and streetlights at dusk or dawn.
