CUP #200 coffee cup collection

Collective Good #21A and 21B inspired this recompleation of eyes peering into Washington DC. Unlike the decades before the 2016 ushered in a new reality TV series called “WTF Washington.” Most Americans in the early 2000’s would have been hard pressed to name their Senator and Congressional representatives. Or know who or even what the Speaker of the House did?

The series, Collective Good was born out of the COVID19 pandemic. On March 12, the pandemic proved the citizens of the world were a collective power which could implement sweeping positive change in a day. To highlight the momentousness of this feat, J. Balser Inc. pledged to thank those working and sacrificing the most during the pandemic, nurses risking their personal health. I envisioned a creative body of work that mirrored the pandemic phenomena: to highlight strength in numbers, personal sacrifice for community benefit, and create a contagious behavioral component where by an act of kindness begets another act of kindness to breed hope instead of the corona virus.
