Artist Statement

i was taught the principles of liberalism throughout my k-12 public education- freedom, equality, justice. yet, these principles are branded by the same empires which have violently colonized and exploited peoples across the globe. the imperialist world system has constructed paradoxes in order to maintain its legitimacy while enacting war. the legal system and its enforcers -the police, army, ice, courts, so on and so forth- establish the laws in which peoples and lands are exploited for their wealth and resources. in other words, law&order creates and allows for the conditions for the chaos and disorder of imperialist war. abolish all empires!
