Dealing with the political and social discourse, not only in the United States, but the rest of the world, I am trying to take an approach that we create history and forget it. In th...

Even though abstract, this work deals with colonial conquer and taking what hopeful natives meant to share, as a blood-quest for the rich and religious.

Life. It will always ebb and flow. The fish swim and sleep. We are. We are.
