Hi there! I'm Soleil!
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York.
I am currently a sophomore at Yale College.
You’ll often find me practicing yoga or martial arts.
I like to move, see, mime, write, and
think in rhyme, through shapes, with sounds...
These bodies of practice all make their way into my art practice:
soundscapes, ceramic sculpture, Theater of the Absurd, and lately (but on time)—experimental filmmaking.
