My work navigates the interconnection of experiences beyond boundaries, exploring the kinship between human relations and nature in the delicate thread that balances ecosystems of cosmic existence. Within the intersection of the personal and universal, allegories center on the role that leisure plays in Black political and racial awareness in the fight for civil rights, and its impact on shaping class consciousness among African Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Connections between Eastern and Western perspectives, like shinrin-yoku with the ancient Greek ideas of scholé, foster and imagine a different vision as productive civil participants with the paramount disposition to fight for the right of nature. My work explores visual and cultural representations of Black and Colored bodies in resonant spaces, where the politics of leisure bridges the historical and the sacred through commemorative ideas of space and place.
