Parasite : (19' x 25'), 2024

Assorted Building Materials & Graphic Print

Parasite : (19’ x 25’) uses a variety of materials ordinarily used for early stages of structural development to create an inaccessible & hostile environment. With land increasingly becoming an asset, viewers are asked to consider what it means to have important historical locations and open spaces purchased and developed on. Safety-green string ties everything in the surrounding area to a central point symbolizing the pulling of resources from communities and land to benefit a single corporation. A delayed completion date and inflated rent on the signage for a luxury apartment highlight the wastefulness of unfinished development projects and exclusivity created to push preexisting communities out of an area.
