Michael Arcega, Lexical Borrowing: Saw Horse by the Sea Shore- Understanding Manifest Destiny. 2011

"This work describes lexical borrowing through the transformation of an American kayak into a Pacific outrigger canoe. The structure, saw horses and table tops, obscures the boat models and the makeshift outrigger, suggesting instability and constant shift." - Michael Arcega's website

Michael Arcega, Eternal Salivation. 2006.

"Eternal Salivation plays on the iconic image of Noah’s Ark. In recent events of floods and other natural and man-made disasters, the idea of survival and salvation comes to the fore. This version challenges the idealized allegory by introducing human tendencies like greed and gluttony- Salvation becomes Salivation." - Michael Arcega's website

Michael Arcega, SPAM/MAPS: World. 2001.

Materials: Spam luncheon meat and pins

"A series of maps made of Spam luncheon meat. Spam was used as ration by the United States Armed Forces during WWII. It ultimately spread through many Pacific Island nations as a standard source of meat. Spam’s diasporic nature is symbolic of America’s ongoing influence on many nations. S-P-A-M is M-A-P-S in reverse." - Michael Arcega's website
