For me, being an artist is very much about communicating time, perspective, and thoughts and feelings, and trying to speak for individuals who maybe don’t necessarily have the medium to speak. It’s always about representing myself, my family and the culture I cling to in the best way I possibly can, and trying to speak for that culture. I can communicate and use my mediums to help spearhead this conversation and make the Black experience in America better. It’s my duty to do so.

It explores the paradox that both are conflicting realities in which we exist simultaneously. The exhibit, will include light design, paintings, projections and modern sculpture pieces.

"ULTRAVIOLET"
We interact with light constantly throughout our life. Ultraviolet days make up to 10% of sunlight, but the benefits directly depend on our use or overuse of it. It is the main source of vitamin D but over exposure can have detrimental effects. An exercise in balance. Does good exist without bad?

"The Art of the Repurpose" in Collaboration with Apple
Inspired by nostalgia from my favorite old iTunes commercialsI created a visual that displays the ability to take something your familiar with and repurpose it into something new. Conveying the warmth of familiarity but the awe of the new.
