These works are a critique of our sensationalized information landscape and fleeting attention spans. I printed and painted over beautiful news media images of Afghan female athletes who have had to give up their pursuits after the Taliban’s return to power in 2021. Utilizing colors embedded in the images, I “cover up” the story by slowly painting over them in order to uncover the loss that’s implicit in complacency.

 

These works honor the strength women around the world have endured and continue to endure.
