SHR(IM)P

"SHR(IM)P" honors Captain Thorpe and the Black

shrimpers who built maritime economies while forging

paths to freedom. The vibrant orange shrimp emerges

boldly against textured white waters, symbolizing both sustenance and liberation. The natural raffia fibers cascade like fishing nets emphasizing the connection of ancestral knowledge to present time. The figure represents Captain Thorpe's ancestral spirit, standing dignified within the ocean's bounty that sustained generations and created economic independence where few opportunities existed.
