Toy Soldier (Notes on Robert E. Lee, Richmond, Virginia/Strobe) (2021–22), the video work performs both a close reading and a transformation of its subject, a 19th-century equestrian statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee that stood from 1890 to 2021 in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Spotlights move at various speeds across the statue and its graffiti-covered plinth, extracting sections of text—almost in counterpoint with the black shapes that pass over the grounds of the collages
