"Windbreaking", 2019, Collage, Found Paper, 18" x 24"

Back then, football heroes, the US government, a happy (conventional) marriage, a car, and a house were all that was needed to live the quintessential American Dream, and anyone (who was white) could achieve it.

Are we happy now? Where are we going from here? What are we going to leave behind?
