Emory's own Sarah Emerson will also be participating in the event. In her own words her project is as follows:

The Moon Is Down is a title inspired by the role of John Steinbeck's novel of the same name, a book used as one of the most successful pieces of American propaganda during WWII. In my work I have focused on the idea of a civilization in decay and the beauty and revenge within our natural environment. The viewer can stand as witness to an enlarged scale of small things, a swarm of locusts, puffy explosions, and a cowering girl. We are left to accept our own ambiguity as witness to a strange and familiar scene; what may lurk in the trees, bubbles or bullet holes, what is that red glow in the distance? In our current state what Eden is attainable?
