This animation alludes to the end of the proletariat American Dream: Manifested by Midwestern car manufacturers contracting work overseas, resulting in the loss of half the population of towns like my birthplace – Flint, Michigan. And where is the overwhelming evidence? On the weathered, burned, stripped-for-scrap-metal faces of abandoned homes within the city. My video represents the ravages of time culminating in the loss of a city's blue collar identity. Whole neighbourhoods are being demolished, leaving fertile lots and grasslands. This phenomenon is being repeated across the Rust Belt and harks back to a more agricultural existence. In the meantime, the eroded dreams of brick, aluminum, and glass serve as a visual taster of involuntary memory: A time when everyone could afford to own their own homes and when thriving neighbourhoods united house dwellers.
