Timequake is an interdisciplinary project that fragments and reconfigures time, narrative and form related to the ongoing violence over land in Palestine and Israel. The project consists of an evolving arrangement of objects, film, and music that loop and unravel symbols, stories and broadcasts related to a contested landcape. In order to encourage people to stay with the discomfort of witnessing their own experience of this conflict, the works deploy altered rituals of grief across scales of human and geologic deep time. The artworks, ranging from paintings, collages, and wooden sculptures to shelter structures and audiovisual installations, are constantly subject to dissolution and reconfiguration in relation to each other, much like the agents and victims of violence caught in ever-changing, yet disturbingly familiar cycles of violence.
The project debuted as Timequake: Between the River and the Sea presented as a solo exhibition at Colorado State University's K102a Gallery in 2025. Its most recent iteration was presented as Timequake: Give Me Shelter / Between the River and the Sea as part of the Emmanuel Gallery's 150th anniversary exhibition Come Together.
