Toxic tribalism sets in motion a process of degeneration rather than evolution. Tribes people become angry, bitter and resentful towards anyone who thinks or acts differently than they do.
This work was designed in response to the ongoing toxic political narrative in the United States. Citizens tend to associate only with those who think like they do, each tribe spewing negativity and hatred towards the other, in a US against THEM mentality. This piece is intentionally constructed to reflect dissent within the individual tribes.
