My practice is informed by the internal world, the external world, and the metaphysical. I work across a spectrum of creative mediums to tell stories that range in topic and scope. My work explores how power is informed by identity and story. I use mythology to create conversation around how we see ourselves and others. Through my work, I am having a conversation with myself. When that conversation is made public, I hope that people can see themselves in my work; in that reflection, there is the possibility for empathy and growth.

My work is constantly changing and evolving, just as I am. There are a few subjects that consistently present themselves in my work. Identity is one such concept that I have spent much of my life dissecting. My work is rooted in the Black American experience because that is my experience. I have been motivated by how I internally process the idea of race and how it has personally affected my life, as well as the larger socio-political implications of race in America and the world. I explore this concept from the place of an artist who sees the importance of lending his talents to help liberate, embolden, and inspire people and culture through the stories I tell. I also use the themes of identity to critique the cultural norms and practices of Black America and the tropes thrust upon us by the status quo, as well as the trauma that comes with everyday life.

Through my exploration of identity, I have learned that uncovering the root causes of why certain people are treated less favorably than others also raises questions about power. Thus, the concept of power, what it is, how it is used, and who gets to use it, is at the core of my work. This exploration has led me to examine my own privileges and personal power. Power is enforced by Identity and they are both held up by mythology, a third recurring theme in my work. Race, gender, even power itself, I believe, are myths. Myths that we buy into for safety, comfort, and understanding the world as it comes to us. We can teach and connect through the stories we believe and the myths we tell. Each of these elements--Identity, Power, and Mythology--informs each other, and understanding and unpacking them is my driving motivation at this moment.
