The Karmic Residue Collection encompasses 7 video works created between 2009-2016, spanning issues of intersectionality, identity construction and post-memory. These works have been exhibited individually and as a series across countries, cultures and contexts, to explore the shifting poetics. Drawing on a family history of migration across three continents in four generations against a backdrop of dwindling colonial empire, this series forms an exploration of identity spanning North America, the Caribbean and South Asia. The interest is not only how the work is received differently in different places, but also as abstract elements disassembled and recompiled — where meaning is embraced, grasped, dissolved or rejected amid a contemporary interweaving of cultural-contextual interpretation. These works are frequently reconceptualized for site-specificity and (moving forward) sensory interaction. As an example, "CYOA Rhythms" was a 2-channel video installation (using 6 works from this collection), focused on migration and identity (re)construction as an impetus for urban transformation.
