“My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest but, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” - Aaron Bushnell 
 
This work takes a still captured from Bushnell's livestream. The data of the image has then been modified via removing a line of code for each death in gaza (based on estimated number on the day of Bushnell's death).
