“The Weight of Disappearance” is a site-specific self-portrait where the total mass of the sculptures—170 lbs—exactly matches my own body weight. Divided into three forms cast in the footprint of my apartment, the work uses a biodegradable mixture of tapioca starch, sand, and native seeds. These pieces will be "planted" in the neighborhoods I have inhabited in New York, functioning as biological clocks that dissolve and germinate, literally composting my physical presence back into the urban fabric.
