"Entitled ""Hoka Hey,"" this piece reflects our ""here and now,"" where the cold machinery of I.C.E. has become a banal, frozen fixture of our daily landscape. It is a visual scream against the systemic cruelty and displacement hiding in plain sight. The title invokes the Lakota battle cry, ""It is a good day to die""—a declaration of total readiness and integrity in the face of a fight. By grounding the work in that warrior spirit, it demands we find the courage to confront the state violence we live among today."
