Is a moment of resistance against a "new normal" in which dishonesty functions as the currency of political success. Tadder's prints reckon with viewers, asking whether they will see the policies and propaganda dividing or choose to remain blind. With powerful imaginary and striking utilization of color, these works compel viewers to break free from the ever-present narratives spun by politicians and media alike and take a moment to see, with fresh eyes, the nation as it is today.

UNITED STATES OF PURPLE searches for moments of truth & equality in this tumultuous period for our nation. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised some harrowing questions regarding the continued existence of truth; however, Tadder’s mesmerizing prints suggest the persistence of integrity & unity despite governmental failings & recent attacks on these fundamental notions.

When primary colors are mixed at equal parts, black is ultimately the precipitating color. During the process, an imperial display of tones appears in the swirling to mirror powerful structure & emotion from the subjects. At a crucial time for the nation to unite, I hope this collection encourages empathy, unity & a non-binary view of race. Black is a color challenges one to see past profiling & foresee the beauty that is capable of elevating the human experience. Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans.
