Frustrated with encountering repetitive images of Black and Brown bodies in the media fatally falling as a result of police brutality, gun violence, and lone wolves; I sought to create a portrait that re-situates the sitter to a position of authority, rather than one who is subject to. “on Being, ” functions as an emblem of personal and collective trauma, while also asserting one's self-worth through the resistance of dominating social constructs relating to identity politics and racial equality.   on Being,  #IAMTHEFLAG and #STAND are ongoing performance works from 2017 to the present.
