Paradise | Disrupted is a semi-immersive visual diary exploring cultural memory, identity, and disruption through the lens of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The project looks beyond the romanticized image of paradise to examine the artifacts, symbols, social fractures, and personal histories that shape Caribbean life. Through layered image-making and spatial presentation, the work considers place as an archive — one marked by beauty, contradiction, resilience, and memory.
Created as an exploratory visual project, Paradise | Disrupted continues to shape MY interest in story, space, cultural inheritance, and the environments that hold identity.
