(2025) “The Overton Window Washers” is the 4th drawing in my Schadenfreude Series. Measuring 20” x 20”, it was hand-drawn using a mix of color pencil, ink, and marker.
The Overton Window is a political science concept describing the range of ideas society considers acceptable at any given time. Once, this window framed a narrow band of reason and consensus...but it has shifted, pulled toward the edges by outrage, media spectacle, and polarized politics. Ideas once dismissed as extreme now stand at the center of debate, while moderation and nuance are pushed to the margins. The result is a distorted view of public discourse, where the boundaries of what’s “normal” have stretched far beyond their former shape.
My three washers embody balance, clarity, and restoration. Each represents a force of renewal: Truth revealing what’s been obscured, Memory recalling what was once right, and Judgment restoring the proper bounds of reason. Their work is aggressive and radical in reclamation, returning what is acceptable to its rightful, balanced place.
