The Dream
2023
36” x 48” canvas
Acrylic + Markers
Series: The Dream
Inspired from James Baldwin quote: “Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth, one clings to what one knew, or dreamed that one possessed. Yet, it is only when a man is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream he has long possessed that he is set free, he has set himself free for higher dreams, for greater privileges”
What is on the other side? What could be that I’ve never imagined or believed? Who am I now? Bask in the discomfort of the unfamiliar.
