Artist Statement
I felt sick and enraged from reading the Epstein files. Ohio residents Jeffrey Epstein, Leslie Wexner, and Peter Thiel, are constantly in the news, but is everyone aware of their various types of plans? At a time when literacy rates are in decline, the power of learning how to read will always benefit everyone. Power to the people.
