This work is built from discarded materials collected along the Hudson River waterfront and excavated from abandoned dumpsites. The Madonna serves as a symbol of the impossible ideals of purity and perfection imposed on women, framing the work as a meditation on power, belief, and erasure. The cairns reimagine the ancient practice of stacked stone markers, while their industrial materiality points to systems of “progress” that scar the landscape and ultimately threaten its survival.
