Creep/Almost Next Time

A large-scale sculptural installation that evolved through multiple iterations, this work explores the tension between desire, stability, and the American Dream in a consumptive society. In the U.S., home ownership has long been upheld as the ultimate symbol of success; a promise of comfort, security, and upward mobility. But this dream is built on a fragile foundation of economic instability, unattainable aspirations, and ceaseless consumption. Viewers are quietly confronted with the slow, grinding reality of this pursuit and its impact on our notions of comfort, vanity, and ultimately, the meaning of home. Beneath the surface lies the chaos of financial meltdowns, market cycles, and speculative bubbles, revealing how these promises of stability are both fragile and fleeting.

The first iteration appeared on 52nd Street in New York City at the site of the former Donnell Public Library. Artists were given access to the space to create large-scale projects, and this location served as the foundation for the work’s initial form.

The second version was exhibited at Art Gate in Chelsea, NYC. This iteration was more compact, folding in on itself—an inversion of the original concept.

The final version appeared on the Big Screen in Times Square as part of a series of artworks presented by Culturehall, bringing the work’s themes of desire and stability into a space defined by spectacle and consumption.
