American Drain

American Drain is a series that explores America’s addiction to addiction. Inspired by my brother’s struggle with addiction, I began exploring America’s addiction to addiction by using drugs and drug paraphernalia as a medium. The first piece in the series titled “American Dream” was created for the “Boundless Space: The Possibilities of Burning Man” exhibit and auction at Sotheby’s NY in 2021. “American Dream” was such a hit that it created a bidding war during the last 10 minutes of the auction fetching 3 times its estimated value.
