Abstract
Medium: Archival photo prints, and Diorama set on foam board made with twine, wood, and paper.
Dimensions: Prints: 15 3/4" x 10 7/8", Diorama: 11" x 12 1/2" x 12"
Year: 2022
"Amazon Coming Soon" is a diorama accompanied by a series of prints that depicts a dying field that has been cleared to have an amazon warehouse built. So much land is deforested and used by large corporations to put warehouses, shopping centers, and car infrastructure, leading to pollution and destruction of ecosystems. They are constantly being built due to the extreme level of American consumerism and greed. The diorama aspect drives home that to these large corporations the land, especially native land, is just a model on their desk that they can easily manipulate with no consequences or regard for nature.
