Description below:

This work documents my investigation into the self-immolation of US Airman Aaron Bushnell and the surrounding discourse online. Screenshots are pulled from Reddit posts, online ads, Bushnell's final livestream, and other personal photos.

I archive online events alongside images from my life as a way to ground myself and create a physical time capsule combining online & offline experiences. These two worlds appear to move at different paces but our engagement with each binds them together.

Whenever it's my time to go, I hope to see a flash of everyone I've ever loved overlaid with the memories of 100,000 memes. Gonna be siiiiick ✨
