Myth and Memory for the Black Imagination

This series draws upon African American traditions reimagining a world where time isn’t linear, where dreams are boundless, and blackness exists outside of constraint.

Asking what if Blackness wasn’t tied to documentation and centered imagination instead of survival? Using abstraction not to obscure, but to protect in a world that often reduces us to evidence or spectacle, abstraction becomes an act of care. A way to see ourselves outside of surveillance to see ourselves collectively, spiritually, without needing to perform recognition. Through staged portraiture, symbolic styling, and color as emotional language, I stretch reality into something more fluid layered, surreal, and cinematic.

Not to escape the real, but to expand it. So Black life can be seen as infinite.
