"A Year of Solitude" is a body of work developed during the pandemic quarantine in Brooklyn. These small, intimate pieces are crafted from materials scavenged during walks through my community. The work exudes a quiet yet urgent presence, drawing inspiration from maps, topographic and demographic zones, charts tracking contagion and spread, and the fraught politics surrounding mask-wearing. In this series, borders and boundaries emerge, codified through redlines and demarcations. The textured pieces, created from fragmented wholes, convey a sense of solidity and surface-level strength, echoing the shallow politics often imposed upon communities of color. c. 2020
