Oh great—now this is happening right in front of the building where my piece ARCANA was just installed. It’s a public art commission for the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington, commissioned by ArtsWA. Given the violent history of campus protests—Antifa tactics, vandalism, attacks on leadership—I had that feeling when I was there. Public money goes in… and while it’s hard for them to protect what they commission, it’s like they create only to watch it be destroyed.
This is why I speak about human action—because every decision carries consequence. When action is rooted in value, aligned with property rights, and guided by non-violence, it builds meaning. It affirms the sovereignty of the individual. What we’re witnessing now is mass hysteria—a collective of untethered souls who have never grasped what freedom requires. They confuse destruction with justice, and feed hatred through the illusion of oppression, never realizing that true liberation begins with ownership—of thought, of body, of responsibility.
ARCANA was built like a stage, inspired by the spirit of Bauhaus—Oskar Schlemmer’s experimental Triadic Ballet in particular, along with structural ideas from Josef Albers. Together with the architecture, we shaped an experience that shifts with the light throughout the day. It was designed as a space for presence—a place to be held while thinking, resting, or exchanging ideas. Not a backdrop, but a structure that wraps around you.
