We aren’t blind to the signs; we stay perpetually distracted from them. Why fret over shrinking ice sheets when Flat Earthers insist an Antarctic edge rings the world? We look up at the toxic chemtrails but look away from the sun blocked out by the smoke of summer wildfires. We spend more time worrying about Bill Gates microchipping our vaccines than addressing the root causes of global pandemics. What kind of world are we leaving for our kids? Headlines focus more on the lasting effects of drag queen story hour on the next generation than on the inexorable force of nature that’s headed their way. Why concern ourselves with the greatest threat to global security when there’s a cultural war against “the woke” to be fought?
My work aims to make me, and hopefully you, think about what matters in a world where nothing seems to.
