The Rose Garden engages with themes of fetal mortality, gender dysphoria, and growing up queer in Michigan in the 90s. There is some suggestive eating imagery, cannibal humor, fish gutting, and occasional glimpses of the artist’s bare bottom. The gallery involves moving through tight spaces, light changes, and flashing video.
