OCEANIC ORIGINS
Acrylic and Silkworm Cocoons on Linen
36in x 36in
2025
“Oceanic Origins" portrays dormant potential and untapped heritage of Black Americans. The delicate black ink patterns mirror ocean currents and neural pathways simultaneously, which emphasizes both external exploration and internal discovery. Just as less than 1% of the ocean depths have been mapped, this piece reflects the ongoing journey of Black American identity. There are many layers of self still emerging from historical erasure, and ancestral knowledge waiting to be reclaimed. There is a particular beauty that exists in these waters of rediscovery.
