Broken

Glass breaks and does not return to its prior form. That is the fact at the center of this work — and the fact at the center of this political moment.

The current administration is remaking things. From one perspective, a correction. From another, a shattering. What is not in dispute is that what existed before is gone — and that the path forward, whatever it is, begins from here.

Broken was made using cyanotype, a process that does not photograph the object itself but captures its memory — the trace left by light passing through. The glass fragments are not visible so much as recalled. Their edges, their translucency, the particular way each one caught the light — these are what remain. Many fragments, from a larger field — images made in an attempt to absorb the scale and emotion of the change. The arrangement does not propose an order. It simply presents the condition: this is what a break looks like. This is what we are sorting through.

The work does not ask for despair. It asks for clear eyes.

Broken is produced in a limited edition of 30. Ocean View, DE – 2026
