Abstract
This body of work explores the complex American response to the threat of nuclear weapons during the Cold War. Through the use of various printmaking techniques, I aim to visually communicate the sense of urgency, fear, and vulnerability that was pervasive during that time. The subject of each piece delves into the cultural and political aspects of the atomic arms race, shedding light on the human experience of living under the shadow of the mushroom cloud. Through my prints, I hope to contribute to a broader dialogue of education and disarmament of nuclear weapons.
