Sacrifice serves as a visual devotional to women enduring, and who are survivors of intimate abuse. Specifically those subjected to the perfidious nature of cultural misogyny.
These beautiful women are unarmored gladiators, literally trapped in an arena with a ferocious lion.
The image was meant to depict strength in weakness and bravado during a time of great vulnerability.
I wanted “Sacrifice,” to bring awareness to defenceless women everywhere. Women confined to cages of solecism; discarded and subjected to emotional degradation.
Imprudent words are the invisible fusillade that infiltrate, decimating the mental fortitude of its victims.
A contentious episode could feel apocalyptic to anyone having to fight for the perpetuity of their dignity, and possibly even their life.
Bravery wears many faces, whether it is adrenaline induced or provoked from an innate fervor to simply exist.

“Memento”
Displays the mysterious contradiction of internal versus external realization.
It juxtaposes the exposition of the mundane behind a clandestine reality.
Memento exhibits an incongruous subject usually hidden from view, and presents it to a curious audience.

Surrey driver feel the breeze Canting hooves on cobbled streets
Bay Street Nassau Downtown trot Keeping rhythm pulling cart
Handsome horse equine grace Earns his keep champion pace
Sunburned arms red as lobster Salt air streams into my nostrils
Bouncing springs squeak underfoot School boy selling papers shout
In the distance cruise ships peak Seaport closer at Potter’s Cay
Lignum Vitae national tree Shade the sidewalk watching me
