Cargo
The painting "Cargo" emphasizes the significant role of African slaves in shaping our world through pivotal events such as the agricultural, industrial, and technological revolutions. The black lines depicted symbolize the kidnapped Black Slave labor that created the grid which defined the global economic structure.
Red Black N Blue
"Red Black N Blue" is an advocacy piece that explores the impact of societal oppression on black individuals, specifically mothers and their fear of losing a child to police violence. The red braids symbolize innocent bloodshed, while blue represents institutionalized violence by police. Together, they create a duality of harm within the black community. The central figure's closed lips and stoic expression reveal her struggle to enact change in a seemingly unbreakable cycle.
