The Sea Will Come to Kiss Me was created in the wake of the 2016 election results which have manifested in the artist, as an immigrant, a woman, and person of color, an overwhelming feeling of exclusion. 

Upon entering the gallery, the viewer is confronted with a wall in which are cut multiple brick shapes. Although the wall is an impassable barrier for both sides, the viewer can see through to the space behind it where hundreds of paper boats are floated from the ceiling. The boats were meticulously folded from the artist's immigration paperwork, transforming it into vessels of movement and change which can be either coming or going. This directional ambiguity suggests a feeling of uncertainty and a sense that an anchor has been dislodged.

Along with the installation, the exhibition also includes several works on paper, ephemera, and objects related to the artist's immigration journey to the United States.
