Wake Up ( print)

Description

18×24 pigment print on Matt Archival paper

Wake Up is a symbolic oil painting that confronts the illusion of American exceptionalism in the age of AI, the climate crisis, and mass surveillance. Mount Rushmore is reimagined as four masked figures representing corporate, government, tech, and media power, whose mirrored lenses reflect a world unraveling. The land beneath recalls its original sacred identity as The Six Grandfathers, honoring Indigenous history erased by colonization. Amid the tension, a final figure raises a hand to halt destruction—offering a powerful symbol of resistance, hope, and awakening.
