This piece is dedicated to immigrantsâtoo often rendered invisible in the American narrative. The green card, while symbolizing legal residency, still carries the label "resident alien," a term that strips individuals of humanity and reinforces the idea they will never be seen as truly American.

This paper examines the structural role of absent and incomplete data within the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest database as a deliberate mechanism of dehumanization and institutional erasure. Through close reading of database architecture and legal terminology, this paper argues that the absence of data strings in ICE records is not incidental mismanagement but a purposeful tactic: one that obscures the scope of enforcement, limits public accountability, and furthers the systemic erasure of immigrant lives from institutional record.

its a meme for most, but all seriousness it was supposed to be a critique of our closeness with ai agents. how in this current era, people have become accustomed to trust their agents with personal information, using it as a therapist or even a romantic partner. i wanted to push its absurdity, and use humor as a form of critique. ai has become so infiltrated into our society, that the idea of you actually sleeping with it, talking to it seems ridiculously but is actually the direction of where ai is heading. instead of creating a version of the ai agent, which is usually feminized. I wanted to put the people in the forefront of the company--the CEOs. at the end of the day, majority of your support and money is going to the person who holds the most stake at the company.

This work revolves around memoryâspecifically how our memories evolve over time, particularly with sentimental items we've lost over the years. In these interviews, I ask my friends to recall a childhood plushie and describe it from memory. I recreate the plushie based on their descriptions and recollection. Each plushie was handmade, serving as an extension of my love for these friends. Our material objects are an extension of ourselves. Sometimes the material object is all that we have left. And it the only thing that we can attach as humans. Memory becomes intertwined with the object itself
