Project Topic: Votes & Vaults

Votes & Vaults is a folded pamphlet that playfully juxtaposes political authority with the fragility of historical preservation. It combines snippets of legislative announcements with fragmented archival photos and text about contested historic buildings, highlighting the tension between progress and preservation. This project emerges from the intersection of the Indian politician's story of electoral power and the U.S. lawsuit over historic site demolition, exploring how decisions shape both governance and cultural memory in unexpected and uneasy ways.
