“Together,” 2023, Colored pencil and graphite on cut and layered paper, 40 x 26 inches
Sequence of threats and (re)actions that endlessly loop. Names are alphabetically derived from hurricane nomenclature. The overall idea is loosely based on Friedrich Glasl’s model of con ict escalation. The drawing explores ampli cation through repetition—threats become reactions become actions, which then become threats, and so on.
