Alliance (BK-5) stages the fantasy of domestic perfection. A grayscale image of The Brady Bunch cast—smiling, symmetrical, and impossibly wholesome—anchors the composition. It is not a family portrait. It is a cultural monument. A visual pledge to the myth of American normalcy, where happiness is choreographed and harmony is broadcast.

The black star in the upper corner marks the chromatic zone of the work—black as ideological gravity, as the color beneath the surface of curated joy. The numeral “5” in the bottom corner situates the piece within the Alliance constellation, signaling its position in a sequence of chosen alignments.

Unlike the cinematic kiss of Alliance (BL-1) or the aspirational smile of Alliance (GR-2), Alliance (BK-5) offers a fantasy of stability. It is not heroic or romantic—it is domestic. And yet, the image is stylized, framed, and mythologized. The family is not just a unit—it is a brand. A performance of unity that masks complexity, conflict, and exclusion.

Alliance (BK-5) reveals how poetic ideals have been absorbed into televised myth. The dream is syndicated. The fantasy we ally ourselves with is not of greatness, but of comfort. Of being part of the smiling grid.

Alliance (BK-5) is an alliance to the fantasy of order—where happiness is rehearsed, and belief is broadcast.
