#ThisAmericanDystopia

Inspired during a cross-country road trip from California to Mississippi, the major influences for this imagery are as follows: (1) The Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade in 2022; (2) reading Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” in 2019; (3) an assignment I had in 2013 while pursuing my MFA in photography: “Take a photo of 300 years from now;” (4) the deleterious effects of Trumpism and capitalism. This body of work is a glimpse into the future, as I imagine it, as well as manifestations of that dystopia, which I see in present times. It is also a call to action with simple ideas of how to move forward.
