Profit of Doom is a series of temporary installations documented with a photography series of life-sized, gold-painted cast aluminum deer with gas masks to create a satirical dialogue about the tensions between humans, nature, industry, and consumerism. The various environmental juxtapositions create an eerie narrative of a dystopian future by using the pre-existing crumbling infrastructure and landscape that can be found in the city of Detroit. These vignettes are both strikingly beautiful and contextually haunting, exposing the relationship between human apathy, greed and the planet’s altered natural environment. In a frightening political and environmental climate, humans often do not want to believe - or do not care - about the negative impact our actions are having on our planet.
