Infinite Data

Year: 2020

Media: Quilt 

Dimensions: 36” x 36” 

How do you fight a system that commodifies love? Using the infinite knot (a sacred symbol of love), this quilt observes how surveillance is embedded in our culture, and how love is sold back to us through surface expressions, such as likes, hearts, and emojis.

For me, resisting this system is all about loving in radically different ways; in order to do that, however, we have to understand and fight the commodification of love and self-worth that social media nurtures.
