What tips or tricks do you have for living in uncertain times? How do you cope when things feel unpredictable or out of your control? 

Friends, acquaintances, and strangers were asked these questions in June 2025 and invited to anonymously record their responses on a voicemail hotline I set up. Voicemail snippets were then extracted, arranged, juxtaposed against each other, and scored to original music.

The "Uncertain Times" project—both its visual and audio components—are part of the Uproar Festival of Public art, which runs August 1–23, 2025 in Orange County, North Carolina.
