The Watering Hole 

by Alec Ferrer

My collection explores a journey to a fictional gas station that is a one stop shop for key survival necessities. Watering holes in nature serve as a place of communal gathering. They are an abundant resource and are also a place of imminent danger. Technology plays a big part in my work. I like to expose the everyday conversations I have with technology that are normally taken for granted. Representation is extremely important to me. Within my collection I have integrated many cultural references I have experienced growing up, chronicling the unexpected detours one faces in order to reach their destination.
