Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 despite being a central figure behind the myriad atrocities that took place across Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East during the Cold War era. After reading countless declassified memoranda linked to Kissinger during this period, I carved his likeness out of a foam and metal base and covered it in ground beef, then recorded its decay over the span of five days. By incorporating meat into this work, I was reducing a body to a material object rather than a vessel for the soul, a soul capable of love, grief, and emotion. War criminals are not exposed firsthand to the violence that they cause or the decay that comes afterwards, and they fail to see the people they kill as anything other than a number, a casualty. On the fifth day, the sculpture disappeared, leaving behind only the garbage bin pedestal on which it stood and a couple of rogue maggots. The disappearance of Kissinger's bust felt fitting as a conclusion to this project, just as he was responsible for the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of people. In a way, the disappearance of his foam and beef likeness was a micro-dose of justice.
