The State of America is a provocative artist book by Todd Bradley that fuses diorama, photography, and political commentary into a powerful visual narrative. This limited edition work stages meticulously crafted miniature scenes to reflect the fractured realities, tensions, and contradictions within contemporary American life.

Each photograph captures a surreal yet familiar moment—commenting on themes such as identity, violence, consumerism, nationalism, and collective memory. Through theatrical lighting and symbolic detail, the dioramas evoke both dark humor and sharp critique, inviting viewers to pause, question, and reflect.

Hand-assembled and printed in small edition, The State of America stands as a critical artifact of our times—a visual archive that mirrors society's absurdities and injustices through a lens both imaginative and unflinching.
