Light is his medium. The U.S. capitalās grand edifices are his canvas. U.S. President Donald Trump is his muse.
Meet , a Washington, D.C.-based artist who is using mobile projectors to protest against the United Statesā new Republican government.
āThere is clear outrage in this country and around the world about the Trump administration,ā Bell told Ā鶹“«Ć½ Channel on Friday.
āAnd we want to focus that energy and let people know that itās not just Donald Trump, but itās a whole institutionā¦ itās a system thatās not holding him and these others accountable.ā
Using light, Bell has taken aim at Trumpās entire team.
The hashtag ā#SESSIONSMUSTGOā and a cartoon image of Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a Ku Klux Klan uniform was recently projected on the Department of Justiceās headquarters to protest against the former Alabama senator, who has been dogged by accusations of racism.

At the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bell projected the words āDONāT LET A CLIMATE DENIER TAKE OVER THE EPA,ā a jab at the new EPA head, Scott Pruitt, who sued the agnecy more than a dozen times when he was Oklahomaās Attorney General.
āA lot of these officials, they donāt actually respect the departments theyāre head of,ā Bell said. āAnd so we have a lot of inspiration for making art around these people who do not care about the government and are trying to destroy it from within.ā
The controversial new Trump International Hotel has also been targeted. One message, projected just above the hotelās main entrance with an arrow, read āPAY TRUMP BRIBES HERE.ā
when "Pay Trump Bribes Here" is projected over the entrance of his DC hotel.

āThe Trump hotel in Washington, D.C. just made sense,ā Bell said. āThis is where foreign governments are changing their reservations from other hotels and restaurants in Washington, D.C. to the Trump hotel so that they can get access to the president.ā
Bell says that he has no plans to stop his projection protests any time soon.
āThis is 100 per cent legal and falls under First Amendment rights,ā he said. āPeople on the streets of Washington love what weāre doing.ā
IM PEACH
