Symbols of America is an evolving suite of ephemera—physical evidence of conversations we are and aren’t having in America. The work is informed by life in America in 2018 to the present: the opioid crisis, student debt, racism, a watered down version of Buddism in the form of expensive yoga accessories, the obesity epidemic, a certain presidential twitter account, human relationships, and our respective existential crises.
