I am curious about the end(s) of the world and the navigational strategies that might be employed upon arrival. My work, underlaid with quantum aesthetics, plays with the unresolved irony of queer (re)generation in the context of late-stage capitalism. I utilize sound, print, and digital media, merging various representations of the United States war machine with imagery of fetal growth and human desire in order to create an ironic and blasphemic image that challenges the viewer to imagine a world free of hegemony.
