Falling in love with seasick palms
How to make the perfect omelette
Crack eggs into a medium sized bowl. Whisk with a fork until you see a film of foam, then pour into a hot skillet and flip when bubbling. Dish and serve with a sprinkle of chopped scallions. Option to add a thin layer of fertile tears.

Do you think it’s an omen?
While quarantined in our respective homes (Honolulu and Seattle) during the Pandemic, Grace Tong and I collaborated to create Do you think it’s an omen? This piece was originally made for a live performance via Zoom. As an expansion of the work, Grace and I filmed and edited a twenty minute movie rendition.
Do you think it’s an omen? is a video exploration of death and private spaces. As a defiance towards the perception of women, Grace and I use nudity to challenge preconceived notions of the female body in art.
Resources for this project were used consciously and sparingly and recycling was attempted.
Created and performed by Sunhi Willa Keller and Grace Tong
Sound: “Toxic” by Britney Spears (interpreted by Sunhi), text and speech composed by Grace Tong and Sunhi Keller, “Requiem K. 626: Lacrimosa” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
