Mr. Galactic represents the future as well as the past and projects what we could be if only we used our imagination and creativity . There is a slave ship over his head and that speaks of the past, the galaxy around him is about the possibilities. The strength in his face speaks volumes.

Mr. Galactic

The Cost was inspired by the concept of Black intergenerational inheritance. This an inheritance that I believe is made up of the sacrifices of Black immigrants, who abandoned or postponed the pursuit of their dreams to ensure the success of future generations. This sacrifice came at such a large price: one that can never be repaid. In reflecting on the price so many generations of Black elders, leaders, and parents have paid, I realized that it is through their sacrifices that I have been able to pursue my own aspirations in life. In painting The Cost, I chose to paint myself resting to acknowledge the effort of their labor and how much healing and restoration it brought me. This rest has allowed me to have the time and the energy to imagine a world and space that doesnt exist yet. The blades of grass I depicted represent the vast number of individuals whose work I am supported by, and whose efforts are my foundation. The Cost came out of a desire to see myself as an equal subject of a realistic portrait, and that the focus of my beauty can be captivating enough.

Ive learned its expensive to rest and to dream, but they have taught me that I am worth every dime.
