"The Unknown" is a sculpture that captures the fear and anxiety that many underrepresented communities experience daily. This piece features a figure trapped within a cage of their thoughts and emotions.
The sculpture's title, "The Unknown," speaks to the sense of uncertainty and insecurity many people feel in the face of violence, discrimination, and other forms of abuse. The figure's posture conveys a sense of helplessness and despair as they struggle to come to terms with the fear and uncertainty surrounding them.
This piece is a profoundly personal work of art inspired by the artist's experiences with discrimination and violence and the ongoing news of police shootings of black men. Through this sculpture, the artist seeks to shed light on the struggles and fears many minority communities face and offers a message of hope and resilience in facing these challenges.
