"Infernia is an architectural model of a community-center designed for the dead that references Dante Alighieri’s poem, the Divine Comedy, and the visual vocabulary of the American suburb. Similarly to when they are born, souls that wake here find themselves in hospice, confused and afraid. Some are drawn to a light beyond the horizon, while others are pulled towards the demons that plagued them while living. Each plinth in the landscape is an interpretation of cantos in the Inferno portion of Alighieri’s poem. I started this artwork in 2019, not really understanding why I was making it. In hindsight, given that there are no human figures and a hospice on the ground level, it now makes sense given the world’s current state."

"Like the rest of the world, once we went into full lock down, I was feeling anxious and uncertain about the future. Drawing has always helped me alleviate stress and anxiety. These images were made in response to the current administration’s cult-like nature, with a leader that encourages death and devout followers who gladly drink the Kool-Aid."
