These are displays of objects confiscated by the TSA and purchased via auction.
Each lot is preserved and arranged to replicate the photograph featured in the online auction. When sold, the objects are presented in a quasi-evidentiary fashion. My reliefs solidify this usually temporary transactional condition, (the state between contraband and retail commodity) and bind together a collection of objects.
I aim to preserve the state in which the possibility for violence and terror is mapped onto rather innocuous objects.
