This work addresses popular nuclear discourse, attempting to define the bias adopted by news and entertainment media in their presentation of nuclear ‘reality.’ I want to help viewers realize that entertainment images of atrocity are not always innocent, and that even the ‘news’ about atomic issues has been problematic. –Artist statement
