Black That Way

This work explores the complexity of human interaction shaped by life, systems, and time. Through portraiture, the work reflects our attempts to move forward—sometimes with clarity, sometimes through collision. Linear arrows suggest direction, yet our lived experiences are often crunched, layered with tension and unpredictability. The textured surfaces echo this compression, revealing moments of resistance beneath a world that often feels black and white. The subject’s eyes become focal points—quietly expressive, hinting at memory, disconnection, or defiance. Balancing simplicity and complexity, these portraits invite viewers to pause and consider what lies beneath the surface of human presence.
