Till Death Do Us Part (2026)
An enigmatic sculptural installation examining the untimely death of Black literature and identity through the intersecting realities of social injustice, power, memory, loss, and racialised histories. Through lived experience, the work investigates the social and political systems that continue to displace and dishonour the Black diaspora. It reflects on the growing disconnection between institutional power and the communities affected by political decision-making in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Accompanied by an elegiac eulogy and symphonic choral music, the installation establishes an immersive memorial atmosphere that addresses the systemic suppression of Black intellectualism through political and institutional control, particularly through the removal and restriction of Black academic material within education. The work reflects upon the continued erasure, silencing, and marginalisation of Black voices, histories, and intellectual contributions.
Constructed from recycled wood, clay, black paint, white satin, and protruding spikes, the sculpture moves away from conventional definitions of the coffin and instead presents itself in an abstract and fragmented form. Resting upon white satin, the structure lays to rest scattered banned books from Black academia, submerged within the sculpture and wrapped in black paper, symbolising the ceremonial structures of funerary practices and memorial services.
The integration of sound, poetry, and sculpture completes the installation through three musical compositions that reflect the emotional process of death: grief, remembrance, and celebration. Together, these elements amplify the emotional arc of the work, transforming the space into an immersive memorial environment.
Who Are You? (2026).
I want to say a big thank you to the artists @_visuallyphillia@_mamba.exe_@bennettiscoming@abs062001@r__acted and organisations @aiucentre@brucecastlemuseum for giving me the honour to present such amazing creative work.
Starting out and doing something obscure can be very daunting, but when youāre collaborating with people whose artistry is of a specific level and provides material thatās timeless, itās hardly work!
Thank you for letting me be your conduit and thankful for the people that visited. Queer history, especially Black and POC is always forgotten. Iām here to remind you that we exist and will always be here.
Iām grateful thatās Iāve found my calling and will continue to bring light to people who deserve it. But, more to the forgotten history and the stories of those before us. Stay tuned.
- Very thankful to my tutor Alana who listened and helped me throughout it all. Iām a very complicated individual. Thank you for being patient and encouraging. Itās appreciated.

Helping to assist on the Resist! Black Lesbian and Gay Centre (2026), exhibition in collaboration with Queer Britain and Bruce Castle & Museum Archive supporting Veronica McKenzie was something I couldāve only dreamed of. Lots were learnt and inspired me to do more for Queer Black and POC communities.
Started the gym 8 weeks ago for the first time ever, steadily and consistently improving. Never thought Iād be able to do it. Started off 3 days a week and now go 5 days a week. No meal preps. My main goal is to finally get some big raging bulging boobs tbh. Created my own workout plan through research, trial and error. Iāve got 8 weeks left until my goal. Hated going for the first 4 weeks, but after that it became something I got excited about, especially after seeing the results. However, like many environments there are some people who have no sense of respect, decorum or just like to be weird. But, donāt let them deter you. People are people. So, deal with them accordingly. Anyway, canāt wait to see where this goes. Pic is from week 7. Hopefully, I meet my desired target and I wonāt be posting anymore updates until the end of this journey.
