Artist Statement
My artistic practice examines the personal and collective impact of violence-driven social injustice on Black identity.
Working primarily in painting, I use acrylic, oil, and charcoal to explore narratives of Black anatomy through abstract portraiture.
My research engages with the emotional and psychological aftermath of global police brutality, reflecting on trauma as experienced individually and communally.
By drawing from my own lived experience, I translate expressive and experiential elements into the biomorphic, non-finito figures in my work, confronting viewers with the tension between identity and the mental constraints imposed by systemic injustice.
