Ecosystems of Love (2024) is a series of analog film photographs, writings, visual semiotics, and site-specific land performances that document dire efforts to unearth healing through ecological place-making and Indigenous practices of animistic relationality. Taken as a visual-sonic reservoir and ecological memoir, Ecosystems of Love is an intimate exploration of creating a home for oneself within the physical realm of the body, and the body’s continual situatedness in the living, breathing interconnected webs of land and life as an antidote to the acute pain of existential despair / uncertainty / self-destructive ideation and the chronic wounds of cultural dislocation spanning generations. Over time, these works have accrued into a sedimentation of insights and earth medicine received while drifting between transcontinental deserts and oceans, living in domestic exile on the road for over a year in the destructive emotional aftermath of twin climate disasters (flooding + forest fires) spanning Bangladesh and California in 2020. With the short film Anatomies of Displacement, this pair of works is a visceral record of how those who have experienced displacement / multi-dimensional estrangement can trace, contextualize, and reframe ecological / intergenerational / interpersonal traumas through dialogue with the natural world - finding a home with the spirit spanning water, bacteria, metal, soil, sand, bone, stone - as a means of moving through cycles of pain to locate peace and growth. Through this duo of works, I want to speak with the personal, collective, sociopolitical, ecological, subconscious, mystical, physical, and universal elements of transgenerational reckoning + healing.
