Ordered Freedom, 2023

Animation
Using language from Luke Combs’ rendition of “Fast Car”, way for navigating the world are put under an idealistic frame. This animation puts country songs under scrutiny. With the hope of escaping these boundaries, many, whose lives do not fit within these social rule sets, are left to traverse this unaccounted space. Through this presented debris of history, technologies of whiteness inform a negative perception of the other, one that is actively self-hating and upheld by bureaucratic language. Its facade of inked copy paper, a remnant of governmental structure, drives an enmeshing of systemic terror into something called freedom. This bureaucratic conversion of individuals drives an ideal, people who don’t align with the larger nation are then left outside of it.
