This work critiques the erosion of civil rights through a framed excerpt of the Fifteenth Amendment, its letters cut into styrofoam backing covered with wallpaper and stuffed with red cotton rags. The carved-out text suggests the literal removal of promised freedoms, while the red rag evokes blood, labor, and historical violence rooted in slavery and systemic oppression. A worn broom leans nearby, symbolizing rights swept away in mundane acts. Decorative wallpaper clashes with solemn words, exposing democracy’s slow dismantling through quiet, persistent injustice.
