Resilience and Remembrance
El Centro College
Dallas, Texas
Opening Reception & Unveiling: July 17, 2019
The tragic events of July 7, 2016 changed our community forever. To commemorate the memory of the fallen officers, the resilience of Downtown Dallas, and the El Centro College family, these lights will remain bright.
Since that day, El Centro College has been a testimony to the fallen officers’ sacrifices by continuing to serve as a beacon of learning and growth for the downtown community.
In the tradition of fallen heroes, the light shining upward to the heavens from the earth is a marker of loss and remembrance. The blue line will continue to offer a path to sanctuary for those in need and remain a testament to the ideals of dedication, courage, empathy, sympathy, and honor.

The Will to DIY
A series of essays (a monograph) on the practice of “do it yourself” as a sociological rebelliousness, still contained within capitalism, yet harnessing a spirit that deviates from the standard universal, through the machinic craftsman, through the emotive self, and on to political agency in a type of cyclic discourse.
