Beyonce / Polar Bears (144 Cans)
2014
A grid of 144 aluminum cans printed in UV ink on vinyl, the work pairs imagery of pop icon Beyoncé with photographs of polar bears in their natural Arctic habitat. The juxtaposition of celebrity culture and endangered wildlife invites reflection on consumption, climate change, and the strange adjacencies of contemporary media. The UV ink lends the surface a luminous, almost unsettling quality that heightens the tension between spectacle and environmental urgency.
