Delicate floral wallpaper, frayed edges, and a circular magnifier over the phrase “25 MILLION LIVES,” create a jarring tension between domestic familiarity and global devastation. The work echoes the January 20, 2025, executive order “Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid,” which froze $12B in global health funding under claims of “realignment.” Models project nearly 25 million deaths over 15 years from tuberculosis, HIV, maternal mortality, and lack of family planning, with thousands already lost in weeks. The pierced floral print suggests faded hope and bureaucratic indifference; torn cardboard and glass tube evoke fragile humanitarian systems dismantled by a single signature. Through intimate, domestic textures, the piece makes distant tragedy immediate, forcing viewers to confront the moral cost of political decisions that measure lives in policy calculus, not human worth.
