    Made during quarantine, processing my individual mental health and restructuring my ability to make work in quarantine with limited access to materials.
    My mind was wrapped around the protests and brutal murders of black and brown bodies during the peak of a pandemic and stay at home lockdown, leading me to include text (page 2 of essay) wrapped around the edges of the piece.
    The accompanied text serves to question and criticize institutions, question and criticize my own position as an artist in this time, highlight the sociological/historical aspects surrounding this piece, and outline the concept of my piece.
