Deep Water Horizon

Created in response to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Deep Water Horizon depicts Wright rolling her naked body down a filthy, glass-strewn back alley in Miami during the middle of the night—as a way to feel the equivalent of something that seemed so far away. Through Be and Deep Water Horizon, Wright stakes a personal claim to the survival of our ecosystem, while the duality in these chosen subjects creates a visual metaphor that questions the violent direction our society continues to move in.
