Artist's Statement

Mass incarceration, fueled by capitalism's need for surplus labor, has produced the world's largest harvest of human beings. Forced into the bondage of neo-slavery, I am not just a descendant of a slave. I am also part of a marginalized, vulnerable group of human beings who are slaves—prisoners.
