Installations

The two installations presented here were reactions to America's global impact both in Iraq and throughout the world. They were created soon after my return from my trip to China in May 2006, a trip that gave me a heightened awareness to the world's view of America and American imperialistic ways more than any of my experiences in other countries before.
