Part of 'The Artist Pays Attention: Finding Meaning in the Age of Distraction' series, "the artist reflects on a thousand cuts" draws inspiration from Maria Ressa's powerful account of social media's impact on democracy in the Philippines, as detailed in her book "How to Stand Up to a Dictator." This piece visually contemplates Ressa's assertion that democracy can die by a thousand cuts, with fragments of her insights transferred to the paper via gel medium.
