Protective Spirits
This body was born out of the events leading up to 2020 and uses abstract paintings, sculptures and video to explore the themes of protection, a mother’s fears, identity. It was born the day I became a mother of two black boys. The video incorporates the Witnesses as protectors, observers of the past, present, and future but most importantly the film is from the view of a mother who built a structure called a safe passage during the height of the pandemic and is asking the question, Is there a safe passage for the Black body?
