Excited to share that I will be part of the upcoming exhibition“Tomorrow the Sun Will Rise” at The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC.

For the exhibition, I will be presenting “Sungazing Scroll (2024)”, a work from my ongoing practice using cameraless photographic processes to explore memory, light, time, and our relationship to the atomic trauma.

I am deeply grateful to be included alongside such an inspiring group of artists from across the DMV region.

Special thanks to curator Tie Jojima and the co-curators for their vision and care in bringing Juried Invitational together, and heartfelt appreciation to Akio Tagawa for his generosity and support in helping make this opportunity possible.

Looking forward to sharing more soon.

Excited to share that I am beginning my residency at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts!!

Over the coming months, I’ll be developing new work while spending time thinking through ideas around memory, land, and the lingering presence of nuclear histories—questions that continue to shape my practice.

Deeply grateful for this opportunity, and looking forward to the conversations, experiments, and community ahead!!
It was incredible to see my piece “YOUR / PEACE”, made with scanned slide film, installed as a large-scale mural as part of.

“YOUR / PEACE” emerges from my series “Teach Me How To Love This World”, an installation using modified carousel slide projectors that generate shifting phrases such as “Your / Blood,” “My / Love,” and “Her / War.” By isolating the phrase YOUR / PEACE, the work reflects on peace as something fragile, relational, and shaped by histories larger than ourselves.

Huge thank you to, Lee Davis, and the many collaborators for including me in this meaningful project!!
I’ve had the privilege of serving as Interim Director of the MFA Photography + Media & Society program on behalf of great Bill Gaskins this semester.

I am honored to present:

Grad Show III Reception: Photography + Media & Society (P+M&S)

Join us for the opening reception of the MFA Photography + Media & Society thesis exhibition at Maryland Institute College of Art.

📅 April 17, 2026
🕔 5–7 PM
📍 Fox 3 Gallery
1303 W Mt Royal Ave, Baltimore

Featuring work by Hannah Gordon, Elyse Spencer, Tse Wen Tsao, and Roshaun Stephenson, this exhibition marks the culmination of two years of research-driven, interdisciplinary practice.

Expanding photography beyond the camera, the works on view engage material experimentation, installation, and socially engaged approaches. From investigations of gun violence and metabolic disease to the prison industrial complex and questions of cultural identity, each project connects personal experience to broader social and political realities.

Celebrate the Class of 2026 as we present work that challenges, connects, and reimagines the role of image-making today.

Issue 18 "Finding Home" featured artist Kei Ito ✨ "“Only What We Can Carry” is a series of over eighty five contact C-prints made from original Civilian Exclusion Order posters—the same notices that once commanded Japanese Americans to leave their homes during World War II. Onto these reproduced posters as film negative, I exposed everyday objects— things I might take if told I had one day to pack my life into a suitcase. Each exposure merges object and text, as if memory and bureaucracy were fused in light, revealing how fragile the idea of “home” can become when it is taken away by force. This project began as an attempt to understand what it means to lose and rebuild a sense of belonging. For the incarcerated families, “home” was not a fixed place but something carried within—the letters, photographs, and small possessions that tethered them to identity and love. Today, that same dilemma persists for countless people displaced by war, prejudice, or policy. What would we carry to preserve our sense of self if home were suddenly denied? Through these luminous prints, everyday objects radiate like X-rays, embodying the tension between permanence and erasure. “Only What We Can Carry” is not only a remembrance of forced displacement but also a meditation on resilience—the human capacity to create home even in exile. By bridging the histories of internment with our contemporary world, the work asks how we might find home again—within memory, within one another, and within the light that endures beyond loss."

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m feeling deeply grateful. This year—marking the 80th commemoration of the atomic bombings—I really focused on remembrance, witnessing, and the ongoing nuclear legacy.

Highlights included my solo exhibition Embodied Spectrums at MOCA Arlington, a talk at the Royal Ontario Museum ( & ), completing a documentary with filmmaker Roger Okamoto, 19 exhibitions (including 2 museum permanent collection shows), Residencies at Light Work & NARS and travel to Tokyo and Hiroshima to continue research connected to my grandfather’s story.

Thank you to everyone who supported and shared this work. Looking ahead to 2026. 🌱
