Acriema. This series comments on my countries knowable history, its perceived national identity and our energetic vibration as a society. My Father’s Father was a Human Computer in the Army during World War II. He worked on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, New Mexico. They split the atoms of uranium and plutonium to create a force that was previously just a theory. It ended a war and the technology changed the course of humanity. This family connection with the not so distant past provides me with a point to jump from when thinking about humanities obsession with warfare, technology and moral compass. My desire to reference these moments come at a time when the world has forgotten the sheer destruction we are capable of. To provide a better future, we must not forget the past.
