Samuel Levi Jones's *Purpose* (2019) continues the artist's ongoing investigation into systems of power and knowledge through the deconstruction of institutional materials. Jones is known for unraveling and repurposing the bindings of encyclopedias, law books, and other authoritative texts, exposing their raw components to challenge the authority embedded within them. The resulting work transforms these symbols of established power into abstract compositions that provoke questions about equity, access, and the structures that shape human understanding.
