Jump the Gun

A young girl is caught mid-leap in a grassy field, her arm extended, pointing a pistol toward a distant paper target. The stark composition places her figure on the right, balanced by the small but insistent target on the far left. The expanse of white space between them creates both tension and pause — a metaphor for distance, time, and consequence. The work juxtaposes innocence and danger, presence and absence.

Notably, this piece was selected by the Biden–Harris Presidential Campaign in their messaging around safe gun usage, underscoring its resonance at the intersection of art and social responsibility.
