Black Lives DO Matter. A current term that has the power to unify and divide. This black and white collage series brings light to the ugliness
of racism and bigotry that we have witnessed
in the past, and unfortunately to the present. Hard to
believe that we are still divided in the 21st century as our country claims a path of diversity and inclusion.
These images depict the pain, the struggle, and the perseverance of a people as they triumph over adversity through the subjects of African American civil rights, police brutality, black male identity, women’s rights,
the miseducation of our children, image degradation at the hands of the media, apartied, the devastation of hurricane Katrina, sexuality, and love. It is my hope that the images will open dialogue on the subject of self-validation.
There is nothing more powerful than a black and white image.
