Democracy in Crisis

2017 to Present

The America I grew up in entered a stage of turbulence and dysfunction in 2017, a period that put our constitution and democracy in crisis. I began creating the works in this series as a way to set the stage for political conversation in the hope that it would inspire reflection and discussion.

My pieces were meant to raise questions about how the political climate of that time would shape and configure future generations and the disenfranchised people in our country. Would the conflict and resistance occurring during this period see history repeating itself? As a an artist, creating these works help provide clarity in a time of confusion, one that has now returned with potentially even more dire consequences.
