My work takes our growing detachment from nature, the land and its creatures, as an entry point. I am thinking about materiality, AI, and extraction, the way that capitalism drives corporations to extract at great cost to all beings, the planet and its future, but especially to poor people, women and children, Black, Indigenous and people of color, taking none of the responsibility and all of the money. Corporations poison drinking water and pollute air, demolish habitats and bio diversity for oil and minerals without consequence.
Addressing contemporary environmental and political issues found in dominant narratives throughout history, I'm interested in locating the (lack of) ethics that shape them to address the way forward. How we can shift our focus away from an oppressive, capitalist model of domination to one of equity and collective voice, for the sake of all people, animals and the planet?
