#SayTheirNames
The #SayTheirNames project sees the artist as an activist, preacher, healer, and prophet, allowing Black people to fully embody their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and images
as artwork. The body of work symbolizes one’s sense of duality—Black, American; two thoughts, two souls, two feelings, unresolved strivings, and contradictory beliefs in one’s dark skin, which is held intact solely through its purposeful power. in #SayTheirNames 2, the work combines a historical portrait of an enslaved Black man named Jack in the foreground and protest images from demonstrations—from 1968 and Black Lives Matter—collaged on fabric.
