The artwork features a wooden, house-like structure mounted on a wheeled cart, filled with an array of colorful glass bottles and liquor bottles.

Dominique Moody composes poetic assemblages, collages, and installations using discarded and everyday materials, crafting narratives that speak to personal memory, social inequity, and collective experience. Influenced by partial vision loss, her creative process embraces intuition and inward perception, allowing meaning to surface from within. Her art functions as a language of resilience—each assemblage sculpture or collage portrait becoming a vessel for memory, revelation, and kinship.
