“I investigate, document, cross-examine, interpret, and abstract to construct cultural hybridizations. By de-contextualizing and re-contextualizing imagery, texts, and topics, I frame the ongoing struggles of Black culture within today’s society.
“Drawing from my background in architecture, I approach thinking and conceptualizing through abstracted possibilities, alongside understanding systemic structures and foundations that mirror societal issues. I critically address the structural persistence of these issues, exposing the residuals of colonial influence while also examining women’s issues and critiquing imperialist white-supremacist patriarchal cultures.”
