Mixed

Identity isn't always as concrete as we strive for it to be. Day to day we are faced with the notion of defining who we are, but the path is never linear. We try to make sense of life by placing what's around us in categories of things akin. But what happens when we feel like we don't fit into a cer (...)

Places to Sit

Places to sit is a lovingly curated collection of public city benches by Denise Mylonakis. Made for the people, by the people; each city bench is a blueprint of those who made it, where it's located and the people who sit on it. The project was inspired and began with Montreal’s bench variety and cr (...)

Objectivity

Objectivity is a series of work that express how my time at Parsons and experiences in 2020 (an unconventional year) have changed my perspective and understanding of what I find meaningful.

Poetry, Publishing & Process

For my capstone project, Poetry, Publishing & Process, I created a set of publications—using both print and digital media.
