My interdisciplinary practice investigates the social and linguistic constructs that shape identity, history, and collective memory in the United States.
MessageThe work critiques institutionalized misogyny under Donald Trump and his administration. Organized as a grid of nine framed panels, it mimics bureaucratic systems that compartmentalize gendered violence.
Each panel pairs academic definitions of hegemonic masculinity with allegations against Trump and his appointees, exposing patterns of abuse of power. Decorative domestic imagery masks the content, reflecting how harm is normalized in public life.
The work resists erasure by holding accusations in view, insisting on recognition, accountability, and remembrance as political witness.
