Letter to the Viewer: This piece was conceived in the year 2020, at a time where it seems that my fellow humans have still fallen into the mental trappings and possible defects of a mental abstraction called ‘race.’ For thousands of years we have quarreled and fought to the death in the name of skin pigment. We have enslaved, coerced, manipulated and even used guilt as an attack mechanism on the mental faculties of our brethren and have done so to this very day. I do not create this art for the current moment for they probably will not understand or possibly comprehend that the problem is not outside of us, yet possibly within us all. What lies before you is an artistic expression made out of sheer anger, frustration and empathy for those that currently live on this planet and are struggling with these issues, whichever side of the ‘aisle’ of idealism you come from. What you see is a visual representation of a meditation, upon the mind and after experiencing some clarity you are able to finally see the interior ‘race’ vector in clear view, the mental pocket of prejudice, hate, mis-education, un-education, fear, jealousy, guilt, suppression and all other facets that mostly every human to this day is a part of or subjected to. This piece is not intended to defend any group of people for that would entirely defeat its purpose, it is intended for the entire human race. I am expressing in visual format, the locating and dismantling once and for all the concept of race because we are all human and that’s what we’ve always been. I as a human as well suffer this problem like everyone else, I am no saint and I as an artist will do my part to look in the mirror and battle it myself for as long as I’m fortunate enough to live on this planet. To those in the future whomever gaze upon this, I hope that this merely serves as a memory and a memory that is used to remind us to never fall into that trap again.
Godspeed.

Contained within all of these pieces are embedded memories/photos of injustice, acts of stupidity throughout history in the name of race……….compartmentalized as a mind vector of memory used as a catalyst that turns into physical violence, oppression, coercion etc.
