TOO: An Orientation of Spirit represents my two and a half years' creative journey of thoughts and emotions in response to racism in the United States. I began the work in 2018, and the exhibition occurred the summer of 2021. The heart of the exhibition is TOO, meaning ALSO. It is the absent but implied word at the end of the statement Black Lives Matter and is the artistic lens woven throughout the work. Empathy resides within this small word. TOO is the essence of our humanity and the "superpower" that enables an orientation of spirit to occur; where empathy grows, racism dissolves.
