'Wonderland' investigates pack mentality as an inherent, potentially dangerous, element of human instinct. Deeply inspired by Chinese-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang's installation Head On, 'Wonderland' uses imagery from war, sports, and communication to reveal the psychological and physical episodes of a herd acting as a unit through the uncoordinated behavior of self-serving individuals. Although pack mentality is a natural and ongoing strategy in the animal kingdom, among humans it can indicate a vicious, desensitized brutality and disregard for humanity -- a concept that is at the core of 'Wonderland.'
