Hi there!
I'm Soleil!
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York,
and went to Saint Ann's School.
I am currently a sophomore at Yale College where
I study art with a concentration in sculpture.
You’ll often find me practicing yoga or martial arts.
I'm a member of Yale's experimental theater ensemble,
Control Group.
I'm interested in the interactions between
video, live performance, and sculpture.
I'm currently working on reengineering
a payphone from the 1990s
as part of my fellowship with Yale's
Center for Collaborative Arts and Media (CCAM).
