The frame encases a page from Project 2025—a conservative blueprint for a future presidential administration—beneath a translucent veil, suggesting censorship and concealment. The decorative floral border contrasts with the bureaucratic text, evoking how ideology can be disguised as civility. The work exposes the document’s chilling agenda: to “delete” LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and diversity from public life, echoing authoritarian erasure.
