Concrete Crumbles examines how the current American administration has pushed society toward the edge of authoritarianism. I photograph construction zones and decaying infrastructure, then print the images on copy paper. Through cutting, rearranging, collaging, and scanning, I reconfigure these fragments into unstable, disjointed compositions. This process mirrors the fragility of our civic structures. The resulting images function both as a record and warning, reflecting the precarious balance between transformation and collapse. Ultimately, I hope this work functions as both a warning and an opening. By destabilizing familiar visual structures, this body of work encourages viewers to reconsider what they perceive as fixed or permanent, creating space to imagine alternative futures grounded in awareness, participation, and repair.
