Statement
The world of tomorrow is my world today.
I picture myself out in the cosmic wilds
contemplating the creatures that have replaced the human species after we have disappeared, either through self-destruction, misuse of resources, or
a galactic collision. After all, why should we survive? We are hateful to our planet and each other. Through books and poetry, digital paintings and sculpture, I invite viewers to contemplate what might happen, "If We Are Erased".
