Zooming through life, we do not stop to see where we are. We forget that we are part of a global exchange. The freeway, the airport, the line at McDonald’s. We trust that everything will keep us moving. In common places, at regular times, we run into each other. Upon impact, culture is created. Are you the participant or the observer?

Food Chain, the painting, pays homage to living in a surplus of food options; one more flashy and visually enticing than the next.
