A photograph of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building is partially obscured by white panels, spray paint, and a paint roller suspended within the frame. The work references the Trump administration’s proposal to paint the building’s historic gray granite exterior white, transforming a preservation debate into a broader metaphor for historical erasure.

As the administration seeks to whitewash not only architecture but also public memory, education, and the historical record, white becomes both color and action, a gesture of concealment. The work asks what is lost when complexity, conflict, and accountability are covered over in pursuit of a cleaner, more controllable narrative.
