Video installation Monumental Interventions depicts illusory worlds where political figures and military icons come to life to confront the hyper-militarization of San Diego, CA. Playing on the anticipation of censorship, the artwork employs facial motion-capture as a means of anonymity for the subversion of state-sanctioned simulacra within the built environment. As a result, animated sequences depict public facades that are humanized by private narratives of anti-imperialism and demilitarization intimately observed by the viewer.  Ultimately, the artwork presents oral historiographies that construct a body of fictional performance to investigate the tension between the testimonial as a subjective journalistic device and the objective illusion of fantasy cinema.  In February, 2023, Monumental Interventions was censored at the San Diego International Airport, due to complaints about  its “wokeness,” but was later exhibited at Athenaeum Art Center (San Diego), El Paso Museum of Art and Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juárez.
