Statement:
Working across drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and installation, my practice explores spirituality, memory, and transformation through the lens of the African Diaspora. Each work becomes an act of ritual where history, mythology, and the imagination of the future intersect.
Rooted in my East Texas lineage and the broader landscape of the South, my work reflects on the dualities of joy and grief, presence and absence, the natural and the constructed. I seek to honor ancestral knowledge while questioning the systems that shape our world, creating spaces that invite both reverence and reflection.
Through material and narrative experimentation, I hope to venerate forgotten histories and envision new ways of being bridging what was, what is, and what might yet come.
