Santa is a professional Santa Claus, artist, and part of the East Jesus community at Slab City. One of his works is a car covered with doll parts in order to draw attention to unrealistic expectations around body image.
Slab City is located in the desert of Eastern California. Once a military base, it is now an uncontrolled and decommissioned site that attracts squatters, snowbirds, and anyone looking to live ‘off the grid'.
“You have to make the best out of what you get. That’s really, to me, what life is all about -making the best out of what you get. No matter how bad it was or will be, you just need to make the best of it.” -Santa
Recorded at East Jesus, Slab City, CA
