In the artist's own words:
The Interrogation
When I was a teenager, I could have come to school with a gun with the intent to shoot and kill several of my classmates. At least that's what the experts thought. In the wake of the Virginia Tech shooting, on CNN several analysts publicly urged teachers to act with more suspicion towards the kids who were "different." The Interrogation reacts to this. The Interrogation’s intent, to barrage unknowing teenage subjects with hyper-ridiculous questions to create a situation as uncomfortable as I felt when my younger self was falsely profiled as a prospective future murderer.
