Oracle reading

The Oracle Project: An Ongoing Performance (2024–Present) This project is a series of "Oracle Readings" centered on a growing deck of unique, hand-painted cards. While the structure mirrors a traditional tarot spread—exploring the past, present, and future—the authority of the "reading" is decentralized. By asking participants to narrate the symbols they see, the piece dissolves the boundary between artist and audience. This process transforms the viewer from a passive observer into an active agent in the work’s evolution. My intent is to reclaim the space where art meets the individual, proving that art is not a luxury for the elite, but a fundamental tool for navigating our personal lives. It is, and always has been, for the people.

The original exhibition was titled: "How Will You Be Remembered?" and took place in the Shaffer Art building on Syracuse Campus. I sat accompanied with the following text:

As we move through life, we leave parts of ourselves with the people we meet.

These fragments-our words, actions, and presence become pieces of us carried forward, leaving an impact long after we're gone.

This exhibition is about legacy. Each card represents a piece of me a moment of thought or feeling-now offered to you. As you take one, you carry that fragment forward, giving it your own meaning. Over time, nothing will remain here, but the pieces will live on in new places.

Time has brought us together in this moment. As you walk away with this part of me, consider: how will you be remembered.
