In “Deaplified” the same three women are depicted within two caryatids on the side of a group of women who all were abused after immigrating to the United States through marriage. These three women Susana Remerata Blackwell, Helen Clemente and Anastasia King were all three abused and two killed at the hands of their husbands who had brought them to the United States in order to take advantage of their weakness as immigrants. It was not until Anastasia King, a Russian woman of lighter complexion, was murdered by her husband, the news went national. In the work, the depiction of King dumps honey on the heads of the voices that were so bias at the time.

I took the words of the old women in the Greek Play “Watered, perhaps you'll bloom again” and played with the idea of bees-as-old-women quenching the flame that the media, bias towards white victims, brought. They hoped that it would “bloom again” into something better.
