My work draws from the fierce insight of James Baldwin: "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time." This rage fuels my art, which tells the stories of the unseen and honors the resilience of the African Diaspora. My art seeks to transform the brutality of the Black experience into beauty, transcendence, and healing. Rooted in the deep histories of the Middle Passage and Jim Crow South, my work collides these legacies with today’s media distortions, confronting the imposed caricatures of Black life and reclaiming them as acts of defiance and clarity.
Rituals and performance are central to my practice, as I seek out spaces heavy with history and personal pain. Through acts of blessing and cleansing, I aim to release and reclaim these spaces, transforming them into sites of renewal. My art reflects a collective desire to heal and recover what has been marred by trauma.
I work across multiple mediums—performance, sculpture, fiber art, and more—to illuminate unseen stories and amplify silenced voices. Each piece is a declaration, an invitation to bear witness and engage in necessary dialogue about the Black experience. Through my art, I aim to spark conversations that honor our history, confront injustice, and move toward collective liberation.
