This series focused on the surveillance of identity and who is afforded safety and who is not. Drawing from my experience teaching children, the work begins with familiar shapes and symbols to examine how institutional pedagogy shapes thought from its earliest stages. Hearts depicts men with exaggerated pectorals fighting in a ring. Moon shows a figure pleasuring himself on a couch, as if streaming to an unseen audience. In Stars, two figures stand in a performance pose reminiscent of ice skaters, with stars superimposed above them. Across the series, performance— of masculinity, sexuality, and labor— functions as both survival strategy and spectacle: watched, judged, and rewarded, while punishing failure, deviation, or refusal.
