Bipartisanship

Bipartisanship is a series of portraits depicting political and economic "leaders" made out of duct tape. Duct tape is known for it's ability to fix. It is a material used in holding hostages and holding things down but it is undeniable in its ability to fix. Temporarily. Duct tape is rarely, if ever, used as a long term fix and is certainly not ideal. Beyond that, each portrait dives into the persona that the public holds for each individual and how they are in some way held hostage by the economy, politics, persona, or some combination. Larger versions are available upon request. Side note: multiple images can be opened at once and are moveable.
