Sublimation (Red Star) features the logo of Fox News, framed within a red square and overlaid on a star. The composition is bold, direct, and unmistakably American. Fox News does not present itself as neutral—it presents itself as aligned. Its narratives are shaped by urgency, conviction, and a curated sense of national identity

.
Within the logic of Sublimation, this canvas reveals how information becomes emotion. The logo is not just a source—it is a signal. A mechanism through which belief is reinforced, dissent is dramatized, and identity is affirmed. The red star marks the chromatic zone, anchoring the work within the series’ visual structure.


This is not a critique of Fox News. It is a portrait of its function. A system that transforms ideology into immediacy, and immediacy into influence.
