I'm showing work from the same collection this Nov / Dec! ❤️
Two pieces from Break ∀way State, a collection that reimagines Breakaway State (2020) and raw footage (2019) through paintings based on still frames.
Themes of migration echo the layered narratives of #ZoraNealeHurston writings.

Break ∀way State reimagines the video Breakaway State (2020) through a series of paintings. The collection title draws on the universal quantifier '∀' (‘for all’), reframing it as a symbolic prompt toward emotional alignment in the face of a violent state.

The unfolding and exposure of colonialism in operation is evidence for us to comprehend its insidious and pernicious nature.
As phenomenon, it wants to expose itself.
Like an unfaithful lover, it wants to be seen for the energetic force contained within it.
