I created this work at the culmination one of the hardest and heaviest years of my life, where loss felt like the only constant. It was the distance growing between me and my ability to create art that scared me the most because it is a safe haven. This is documentation of the conversations, arguments, and pleads I had to have with myself.

The title says it all. Like most Black Americans, 2020 only heightened the internal conversation composed of screams that seeks to understand self-identity. Although identity and that which I try to quote in this piece goes far beyond race, it is a common ground of confusion on which many of us stand. I had this found panel sitting in my room for months before realizing how it was to be used as both a mirror and threshold.
