How the Mother Became the In-Law

This artwork reflects the enduring legacy of slavery and colonialism, drawing from MLK Jr.'s quote, "I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law." It explores the forced relationship between Black people and white society—one built on exploitation and bloodshed, yet often whitewashed in history. The 'mother' symbolizes the Black community, deeply rooted in culture and resilience. Despite centuries of oppression, the artwork highlights the unbreakable connection to heritage and the fight for true brotherhood. Through vibrant, fragmented imagery, it speaks to both the trauma and strength that define Black identity.
