My interdisciplinary practice investigates the social and linguistic constructs that shape identity, history, and collective memory in the United States.
MessageThe frame encases layered pages from Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint associated with proposals for restructuring federal governance under a future Trump administration, and references the Trump administration’s implementation of elements aligned with Project 2025 during his time in office. Printed on translucent paper, the pages suggest concealment and control. A floral border softens the bureaucratic text, underscoring how ideology can be framed as civility.
The work draws attention to proposed shifts in federal governance, including measures affecting LGBTQ+ protections, reproductive rights, and diversity initiatives, raising questions about how policy language can function as a vehicle for large-scale social erasure.
