Each video is an examination of everyday life that has been recorded on video without any disruption or rehearsal. They are social commentaries that include topics such as post-colonial California, identity, the effects of the literal passage of time, and the effects of the historical passage of time.

In Tortilla Burning, the irreducible image of a tortilla burning on a stove for twenty minutes plays, while hymns from an Orthodox mass are sung in the background. It is a tribute to the strength of my grandmother, who endured a sexual assault at the age of twelve while she was cooking tortillas. But, it is also a social commentary on her identity as an American Indian in post-colonial California, the will of man, notions of holiness, the effects of the literal passage of time, and the effects of the historical passage of time.

Hotel Fresno and Homeless Dog are adaptations of poems and the result of collaborations with poet and artist, Dixie Salazar. The underbelly of life in a growing urban city that was originally founded as a train depot is examined in Hotel Fresno. In this adaptation of Salazar's poem, the city of Fresno becomes a metaphorical hotel for the abandoned and destitute. Ambient sound from the city is layered with images of society's forgotten.
