My work is about the mundane experiences of Queer Black people. I'm interested in body and space relationships. The six senses of the body. Physical, mental, spiritual, and liminal spaces can be public or private. My work is about love, visually, what feels raw and feels real. Mental health and self-love. My inspiration can come from my day-to-day findings like a taste or smell, a dream, or a memory.”
