Vessel for a Worm is a playful exploration of installation as self-portraiture, distilling my identity into a vessel designed to house a worm, recalling the time I hosted a botfly larva in my scalp. Surrounding this central narrative is a collection of objects dating back to 2002, each preserving a piece of my memory.
