“FAR AWAY: INSTALLATION” creates two actions simultaneously. When approached, a wall sized projection of volcanos in Nicaragua begin to disintegrate.

In my Braille project, the brail is not telling you what to do but you have to do. Nicaragua kids telling me to raise money to have imperialism to stop in their country. The hallway.
