We Are Sorry, Never Again / We Are Sorry, Here We Go Again , 2019/2025Satellite imageryVariable dimensions

My We Are Sorry, Never Again series was inspired by a visit to the Topaz Internment Camp site near Delta, Utah. A previous visitor to the site had used gravel from the parking area to spell out “WE ARE SORRY / NEVER AGAIN” on a concrete slab. Using satellite imagery of the hillside letters scarring Utah’s mountains that celebrate towns and schools, I redirected the letters to spell out a monumental, statewide apology—turning symbols of public pride into public contrition. The piece was updated in 2025 to "We Are Sorry, Here We Go Again" to reflect the rhyming of history.
