From the "We Be Like" series drawing on the free association of MF DOOM and a new generation of rappers forging a closer kinship with poetry, these drawings are built from collected scraps of language, overheard phrases, and flashes of visual inspiration that leave behind an emotional echo or stain.
The series addresses fear-mongering, battles over immigration, the loss of community deepened by the COVID pandemic, and the rise of white Christian nationalism. Deceptively simple, the drawings explore propaganda's power to unite and divide through emotional manipulation. Repetition, layering, and poetic nuance run throughout, collapsing the distance between writing and drawing.
