Horsepower - Drypoint Engraving

What keeps us moving when the engine can no longer carry us?

 In Horsepower, people replace the engine. Human effort becomes the force that propels the car forward—a metaphor for sacrifice, survival, and determination.

 Like the old cars of Cuba and Africa, repaired and reinvented countless times to keep moving, the work reflects the ingenuity and resilience of people who continually find another way forward.

When the machinery fails, we become the engine.
