“Reflection” is inspired by identity and dualities. The person you are. The person they see, and the person you see. I would like to challenge the viewer to look back to go forward. Where did you come from? Where are you going? Spiritually, mentally, and emotionally wealthy people self-reflect. This piece is inspired by the freedom received through reflection. Stand in your truth, and freedom will find you.

“I felt the wind hit my face and I knew I was standing in West End, Atlanta’s Black Mecca. Here I pay tribute to the origin of Blackness. The Queen, the Spirit, and the Warrior.”
