The series Polarized Heads depicts political media figures encased by ice in abstracted seascapes. These individuals all have careers that somehow bridge entertainment and politics. In these works, I think that the ice is a metaphor for how the nature of mass media can make it difficult for political actors to express nuance or evolving perspectives.
