Nothing Changes if.....
Installation
2019
Nothing Changes if… is an LED screen with scrolling red text. The text repeats the phrase NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES on a continuous loop. This piece introduces the idea that nothing can change without starting with change. The viewer is being informed by the work that without this first step, nothing, in fact, can change. By recognizing material, both the LED screen and text, the work discusses freedom and social change, the human experience, and the organization and breakdown of mental structures.
