In Holding Water, people throughout the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts imagine the origin of two anonymous blue fragments as they touch and handle them. From within a diner in the Bronx, a grocery store in New Haven, or a living room near Boston- to name a few places- strangers, friends, and family are asked, “where do you think these came from?”

"Oranges" is the second in an ongoing portrait of collectivity. The camera pans across a group of artists - one by one in succession - as they engage in an intimate exchange. The gestures make up a new grammar, revealing something that does not make sense because of its proximity to something else, but because something new is understood.
