February 7 – March 16, 2025

Clasping the veils which obscure the unwieldy scale of mass food production and its relation to the individualist perspective, a microwave conjoins single-use items which are the product of a knotted paradigm. Sacrifices for chemical-laden goods whose overlooked existence acts as a form of preservation. Amalgamations of livestock processed with guarded chemical formulas. Extruded into countless layers of packaging. Through the entropy of consciousness these consumer items have been regurgitated and presented through a satirical lens.
