Home Targets | Oil on Concrete, Corn Flour, Great Salt Lake Sand | 18"x24"

Alternate Reality Label

UV Reactive Pigment

Home Targets is created atop a concrete-like surface composed of Great Salt Lake sand, corn flour, and acrylic, materials that physically embed the landscape of physical labor. The painting reflects the quiet, often invisible consequences of deportation, where ordinary homes become sites of absence, surveillance, and uncertainty. Under ultraviolet light, photochromic pigments reveal crosshair patterns over the front door and silhouettes of children and adults within the windows, transforming the home into a target. This shifting image speaks to the paradox of visibility within immigrant communities: to be seen can affirm one's existence, yet it can also invite scrutiny, separation, and violence. Home Targets asks viewers to consider how enforcement policies reshape not only lives but also the meaning of home itself when under attack.

Concrete Painting: Domestic Interior with Latent

This concrete painting depicts a domestic structure 
rendered at night, its surface marked by abrasion and 
material loss consistent with deconstructive vandalism 
during the Mid North Terra Subjugation period. The 
composition centers on a modest 21st-century home, 
illuminated from within and framed by a quiet residential landscape. Through the front-facing window, a solitary figure is visible, positioned within a softly lit 
interior that suggests stillness and containment.
Under standard viewing conditions, the scene appears 
minimal and contained. However, ultraviolet analysis 
has revealed additional figures distributed throughout 
the interior space, previously obscured within the 
material surface. These latent presences suggest a 
layered occupancy, complicating the initial reading of 
isolation and instead indicating concealed communal 
life. Alongside these figures, a recurring circular sigil 
resembling a target has been identified, embedded 
subtly within the structure of the image.
Digital archaeological research referencing early 
21st-century network archives have linked this symbol 
to a commercial retail entity widely present in domestic life during the period. Its inclusion may indicate 
patterns of consumption, surveillance, or cultural
