Journeying Together: From Sunrise to Sunset

Figures gather, symbolizing marginalized bodies, and are striped in the colors of the rising and setting sun. The stripes symbolize the artist's own "hybridity," as an Afro-Caribbean American, and the number of stripes correlate to measured time—24 hours, 7 days, and 12 months. Stripes also refer to societal division along lines of race, politics, and class, as well as flags, fences, borders, barcodes, and animals. This piece draws inspiration from the Harriet Tubman Monument Project and the Underground Railroad, telling a story of people marching and assembling, coming together to create community beneath the skies.
