An installation made of white sand, broken shards of glass, video, and photographs
Our battered suitcases were pilled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life. ~ Jack Kerouac

According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, professors work an average of 61 hours per week, I also read that the average American spends six hours and 17 minutes of time with their family a week. According to SHRM.org, this intense workload does not actually lead to higher productivity, but instead it leads to burnout, diminished job performance, and long-term health issues including anxiety and depression. Focusing on our ever moving, ever working American life, this installation is intended to express the dangers of burnout in the pursuit of Western neoliberal capitalist ideals.
