Non-Viable States

Non-Viable States, 2020, is a commentary upon the breakdown of society into fragmented factions. The destabilisation of the whole amidst the glorification of each independent state. Each form demands it's own space it's own sovereignty, glorifying itself. Beneath each gilded surface however is a fragile core, they cannot exist in isolation. Each with more in common than that which separates them, these objects float like islands on a empty plain. Tectonic shifts have occurred.
