This is not an artist statement.
This is a prologue.

It’s my voice. It’s Clares voice.

She appears and disappears revisiting past fragments reevaluating, which makes sense as she works as a data analysis. Through her, the work speaks in episodic prose.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960) dedicated her life to documenting and portraying the complexities of racial struggles in the early 20th-century South.

Today, 28th Jan, is the anniversary of her passing

Her voice resonates today, and the topics she dissects still remain prevalent. #zoranealehurston
