This exhibition presents the artist's response to the time after and in between actions of terrorism in the West, a time where there seems to be a confusion about whom the enemy is. Numerous efforts have been put into fighting terrorism, among which is a tracking system that requires fingerprinting and photographing of foreign visitors entering through airports and seaports in the U.S., a screening system that is used as a tool to secure America, yet puts us all under suspicion.

This exhibit is held in conjunction with and in support of Western Illinois University's "American Democracy Project."
