Secret of the Boys Room
5" x 5" Archival Inkjet Print. 2003

Drinking water from the sink of the boy's room. Suddenly, arms reach out of the mirror and push the man's face into the sink.

 Despite my current identification with the underdog, I did something kind of mean to an underdog of my youth, which I don't like to admit and hate myself for. Through bitter humor, 'Secret of the Boys Room' explores this memory, karma, and the sickening construction of white, middle-class masculinity.
