Title: Hope Everything Is Running Smoothly
Medium: Archival Pigment Print
Edition: 1 of 7, Signed and Numbered
In “Hope Everything Is Running Smoothly”, irony smolders—literally—against the backdrop of the American desert. A man in sunglasses, both casual and complicit, offers a hand-scrawled sign to the viewer: “See what happens when you don’t check your oil?” Behind him, a bright yellow van is engulfed in flames, coughing up a pillar of black smoke into an otherwise serene sky. Two stoic donkeys wait nearby, seemingly offering a quieter, older mode of transport and perhaps wisdom too often ignored.
This archival pigment print blurs the line between humor and catastrophe, raising questions about modern dependence, carelessness, and the performative nature of hindsight. It’s a warning disguised as a joke—or perhaps a joke that didn’t need to be a warning. Framed within the vast emptiness of the desert, the image evokes the absurdity of breakdown—both mechanical and existential—and invites the viewer to consider what we neglect until it’s too late.
Signed and numbered in a limited edition of seven, Hope Everything Is Running Smoothly confronts our assumptions about progress, masculinity, and self-reliance, with a smile that doesn’t let us off the hook.
