"Fear Tomorrow" tackles the feelings of dread, fear, and uncertainty that many Americans feel as a result of a government working autonomously against the citizens that they are intended to protect.

"Fear Tomorrow” uses gathered archival source material as its foundation. Originally used as reference points for paintings, these archives are now used directly as the new work itself. Rooted in graphic design, “Fear Tomorrow" uses the language of computer graphics to form completely digital artworks speaking to immigration, identity, displacement, Eastern and Western art history, and pop culture. Low resolution images, sketches, and other ephemera are crafted as new compositions.

“Fear Tomorrow’s" composition is based on the rules of photoshop wherein grids are utilized as style-guides for the user. The grids themselves are not shown in the final works, but help create the overall composition and show the hierarchy of bitmapped and half-toned images. At times, these structural rules are broken to foster an added tension by layering and overlapping brightly colored textures and patterns with various iconographies of high and low culture. This imagery references contemporary painting, 60's abstraction, Islamic art, vintage illustration, early computer graphics, illuminated manuscripts and Persian miniatures. “Fear Tomorrow" uses raw material as the finished product, but with painterly sensibilities filtered through the dithering patterns of GIFs.
