June 13th, 1990 marked the official beginning of the destruction of the Berlin wall. Even though the borders had been open for months beforehand, the actual physical dismantling of the wall was a symbolic gesture visited by much celebration.
The small physical scale of these drawings is meant to bring attention to the grand scale of these events, both physically and in their lasting impressions on our national psychology. There are a few defining moments in each generation’s collective memory that we all remember, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President Kennedy, 9/11. These drawings explore that national collective experience in small meditative vignettes.
