The iconography seen in these pieces is derived from Day 1, Light from my critically acclaimed series In Seven Days…

I created this symbol of the seven hands, with different gestures, united in a circle of light. It is a powerful example of how non-verbal gestures often embody or communicate so much more than words. You can find out more about this symbol, and the iconography of the entire series here.

In Seven Days...was about capturing a specific moment in time. I wanted to witness Obama’s election on behalf of my mixed heritage children, and their generation, who were too young to watch it for themselves. To document it and understand what it meant, for them.
