Wandy is a photographer and architectural designer whose work engages with issues of agency, autonomy, and place. As an architectural designer, she is interested in the ways housing design and policy come together to shape global urban landscapes. This inquiry led to her current role as the Housing Innovation Design Fellow, a position co-hosted by the Boston Society for Architecture and the City of Boston’s Housing Innovation Lab.
As a photographer, Wandy creates images that honor the art of emotional processing. Through portraiture, she creates conceptual photographs often set in natural landscapes to help tell the stories of what it means to be human. Her work has been featured in shows such as Massachusetts College of Art and Design’s “Yeah I'm Doing Great” (2021), and Where Are the Black Designer’s 2021 Virtual Exhibition.
The Poetry of Science project collaborates with scientists and poets of color to generate poetry inspired by scientists' work. Fine art portraits accompany the poems for public display, aiming to challenge systemic racism's negative connotations and establish positive connections between people of color, the arts, the sciences, nature perception, and knowledge creation, ultimately fostering new perspectives and resistance against oppressive systems.
The installation was provided by the MGH Office of Equity and Community Health.
