Police State Condo

2017. Dye-sublimation on aluminum, 3D printed 18K gold plated brass, acrylic, MDF. Edition of 3, 1AP.
Security cameras, TSA checkpoints, and ATM machines blend with designer fabrics and penthouse views to create ominous vignettes reminiscent of advertisements for posh apartments. Each work in the series is titled with a corporate slogan of a defunct American bank affected by the 2007 housing collapse. Police State Condo explores the intersections of luxury, surveillance, and economic instability in the digital age. Composed of both photo-realistic prints and 3D printed sculptural reliefs, the works occupy the liminal space between the virtual and physical.
