I use my work to emulate real-life experiences as it pertains to Black life. Mundane or complex, each piece is created to capture the essence of life through the lenses of someone who experiences it. As no reality is the same, each work is created using several different pieces of paper, fabric, texture, etc. to create a completed composition. Each piece of material is used to represent a distinct emotion, background, and way of life. Each collection of clippings is used to produce a whole creation; therefore, I consider each work a piece of a whole. The “whole” represents my entire body of work – a conglomeration of designs used to depict separate, but sometimes similar, Black existences. 

Throughout my work, bright colors are utilized to illustrate vibrancy in the Black figures I choose to portray. My goal is for Black people of all shades, ethnicities and backgrounds to be able to see themselves, their mothers, fathers, siblings, and/or friends, in my work.
