A SHACKLE BEGINNING

An art installation consisting of hanging chains in the lobby of the second floor of Lawrence Hall, represents how the Black community is still deprived of their liberty. The installation provides a pleasant visual with a deep meaning that resembles slavery. It is a welcome piece that will guide the visitors to the next exhibition. The back wall is engraved with slurs that will mirror the next exhibition, it is hard to see what is written until the visitor walks towards it.

Black Souls

The projection of racial slurs in an empty room with a bench for 1 or 2 people to sit and read the words while listening to a clock ticking. When people enter the room they will be listening to a clock ticking representing time going by, they will notice an ephemeral change in the words where positive words will appear for a second, making them believe something changes but is still the same.
