His research interests span somatic practices, queer theory, glitch aesthetics, and border discourse, often blending digital media with physical interventions. Current projects like Ghosts and Shadows explore human-border interactions, supported by the Mellon-Fronteridades Fellowship.
Nathan's artistic practice includes photographic works, video installations, and self-published zines that interrogate identity fluidity, bodily autonomy, and institutional critique. His Feeling a Future Coming thesis project recontextualizes digital imagery through material transformations and queer somatic engagement.
