Self Portrait
A’Reise
A self-portrait that addresses the continued disenfranchisement of Black Americans. The photo also communicates how justice, equity, and equality are issues the Black individuals in the United States fight and advocate for. Griffin, GA. March 31, 2021
I am an individual who is tired.
I want people to be able to be who they are, do what they love, be able without fear of being persecuted for simply living.
The stories I tell and the art I create are a reflection of that.
[Justice is] the right of individuals to live without the fear of being persecuted for something they either have no control over or love to do, when they do nothing that poses harm or threat to another individual.
[Justice is] the unbiased persecution of individuals who violate that right.
