What are the observational effects of labor on our middle class when people are placed into a system that does not care for them? Further, how does money, identity and future planning based in this system influence human behavior?

In this body of work, I explore the frustrations I face as a service worker, a subject in a capitalist system and a recipient of government aid. I confront and challenge the systems I feel stuck in. In most cases, the work that I have created stems from feelings of anger which I wish to contain, and yet express violently. The artworks allow my audience, as well as myself, to feel seen and understood as we face similar frustrating circumstances.
