Darling,
It’s always the same old song, isn’t it? Men in uniform marching in to douse the flames they helped spark — and somehow still missing the fire. A nation on edge, a woman dragged by the ankles, and nobody noticing the building is already ashes.
They say history repeats itself. I say it never stopped playing on loop — we just keep dancing differently. This piece? It’s my love letter to the chaos, the choreography of denial, and the unfortunate elasticity of “law and order.” Call it a collage of calamity, or just Tuesday in the land of liberty.
May it haunt you, provoke you, or at least make you uncomfortable enough to think.
Love,
Joan

A bold mixed-media collage exploring the volatile intersection of protest, power, and public spectacle.
