All the things I couldn’t do right
Digital photography
A person can only shoulder so much yet we trap ourself in a world where we refuse to show our mistakes.
Artist Statement
When you can’t find the words to say, show me what you see. My photography captures the romanticism of the Black experience, transforming trauma and pain into moments of laughter and joy. Each piece flows with the emotions of simply existing.
