Ravishment is an immersive space that mocks the glorification of violence. Taking influence from Western media and commercialism, the work is both a process of healing from and manipulating the spectacle nature of American visual culture. The assemblage of imagery with discarded, industrial, and luxury materials emphasizes how pain can be felt and triggered, while reinforcing the absurdity of how violence is presented and received.
