What makes your style stand out?

I wear black to look like a ghost—scary, primal, the trickster. Suit jackets blend a masculine edge with a non-human vibe. My hair expresses my fierce personality, ready for Pilates teaching, dance floors, art-making, welding, or giving lectures with my doctorate in performance art—always bold, intense, powerful. The philosophy of lightning guides me. As a neurodivergent activist artist, clothing gives me sensory well-being. Black is renewal, charged with beginnings.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

Being asked by Rick Owens to create an art installation activated by performance in his store while raising awareness about fluid identity. I would merge my sculpture and performance practice with fashion to create an immersive experience that challenges binary thinking about gender, age, and human/nonhuman boundaries. Rick Owens' dark, architectural aesthetic aligns with my love of black as a color of renewal and possibility.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would build an art installation about black, renewal, bonfires, and endings, inviting my collaborators to contribute. I'd create bronze and cast iron lightning bolt jewelry from the installation. I'd also donate to the Native American Family Center in Minneapolis for their support and for welcoming me to ceremonies despite me not being Indigenous.
