Created between 2020 and 2022, Gotta Have It!, Make It Stop! captures the overstimulating experience of staying “in-the-know” while clinging to distraction as a source of hope during and after the COVID-19 lockdown. Against the backdrop of a cultural shift into the attention economy, re-entry into the real world becomes layered with complexity. Drawing from saturated imagery of pop culture icons, collaged found objects, advertising ephemera, and nostalgia, the piece merges bold colors, familiar symbols, and abstract textures to explore the uneasy harmony between past and present. The title, a nod to the Fashion Police segment where celebrity trends are judged as either “Gotta Have It!” or “Make It Stop!,” underscores the tension between desire, critique, and cultural overload.
