In Spirit - Watching the Wheel of Chaos Image Sources
I began this collage in May 2020, when the protests for black lives started, and it felt like a dam was breaking in this country. And I was just watching uselessly from a window. Witnessing rage that had been bottled up during quarantine and for so long before. Cycles of violence accumulate, compound. Everything is interconnected. I made this collage from archival photography in the public domain.
