Head in the Sand
Head in the Sand invites viewers to reflect on the power of collective consciousness and the hope for change in the face of global injustice. The central, oversized figure represents the influence of industries and governments that shape our beliefs and actions. Her "perfect" body symbolizes the false ideals pushed on us, representing the moral narratives we are spoon-fed to justify military interventions—ideas presented as necessary and righteous, when they are often driven by profit and power.
The barren desert surrounding her evokes the aftermath of military intervention: the desolation, abandoned landscapes, and hidden consequences of conflict. This desolation is not just physical but reflects the emotional and social toll, as we are purposefully distracted by the consumption of media, consumerism, and curated realities—similar to the way we are distracted in Head in the Clouds. These distractions allow us to ignore the truths behind the actions we support and perpetuate, keeping us from confronting the real consequences.
Head in the Sand urges us to break free from denial and the distractions that keep us from seeing the full picture. It’s a call for unity, compassion, and collective action—a hopeful reminder that we can stop turning away and instead come together to create meaningful change, healing, and justice for the world.
