Aziza Claudia Gibson-Hunter's methodical mixed media assemblages comment on the destructive nature of competition and how it relates to our contemporary society. The question of how one wins and why can be essential to understanding the collective character of a country or that of a single individual. Can the goal of "winning" become so significant that it can become a blinding force? Using motifs from classic board games, as well as lotto tickets, playing cards, and game-related quotes, images were created while pondering the implications of the phrase "playing to WIN."
