This series emerged from my struggle to produce art work without a dedicated studio. I weighed the cost-benefit of a nomadic lifestyle against the stability of an established workshop. I chose freedom and exploration as a reward for a long denied dream of world travel. But I missed the process of creating art. That longing collapsed into experiments with photography, drawing, and digital collage, and eventually this series emerged.

As a nomadic artist, I frequently heard Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar in places I thought unlikely such as Vlorë, Albania, the Makati Business District in the Philippines, and the Fiumicino Airport in Rome. While my travels have been almost entirely delightful, I also experienced social isolation, the infamous Balkan stare, and other microaggressions. I thought it an odd juxtaposition in spaces where Black art was devoured voraciously. The art prints in this 2026 series reflect the way Black American cultural products like the blues, jazz, and hip hop are born from Black pain that gets marketed, monetized, and globally consumed. A single figure of a Black man repeats across the prints, his arm reaching skyward towards the divine and outward towards a scattered diasporic community seeking to reunite what colonization and chattel slavery separated. Each print honors the resilience of the African diaspora and its ongoing contribution towards human advancement.
