Systems Built for Crawlspaces

I don’t start with a wrecking ball.

First, I reach in—like a fist through concrete—and grab the part of the system that’s been sitting on its comfort, eating well while others pay the price. That’s the hand you’re seeing here: not punishing a body for sport, but dragging out what’s been hiding in the walls.

Some institutions don’t just have cracks in the wall; they’ve built whole careers in the crawlspace.

The wrecking ball comes next—not to break one person, but to smash patterns of evasion, delay, and press‑release theater so the public can finally see who’s been living off the fat of the land while other people lose eyesight, income, or years of their lives.

I don’t just knock buildings down.

I hit them with a wrecking ball, reach through the broken wall,

grab the truth—naked, human—and drag it out.

If a person comes out with it, fine.

The point is: the hiding stops.

After that, we see who can stand in the open air.

None of these figures are portraits; they’re symbols of what happens when we let institutional comfort outrun accountability—whether it’s a federal agency in D.C. or a state system that was supposed to protect people and instead learned how to protect itself.
