THE END’S BEGINNING (2019)

Sterling's work is about the fundamentals and variations of what an object and action have the capacity to say. His work explores how objects shape our social behavior through history and politics. In “The End's Beginning”, Sterling appropriates the city's ability for poetic storytelling through a relationship with the urban and domestic, which in turn becomes a catalyst for social, political, and environmental discourse and activism.
