Title: Breathe Life 2
“At a time when my people cannot breathe, I’m asking us to always ‘Breathe Life'”
Description:
Breathe Life 2 is showcased in a space with personal context and it also intended to engage a global audience.
“Most artists are forced into the corner of representing a singular ‘community’ but if you define community as the thing that you have in your heart, the thing that walks around with you, then the idea expands and becomes more real, as an artist, my work Is representing and speaking for anyone who has a shared experience. Artists need to be acknowledged for having a personal practice that can span experiences that aren’t bound by a neighborhood or city. That’s how you find the like-minds in the room. I’m a Black man from Roxbury but my community is across the nation and of the world. I created the ‘Breathe Life’ series because I wanted to create a gift for our city and leave a bold visual representation that matters. I want this mural to deliver a positive message that solidifies the powerful value of the community that I was raised in.”
