Turtle

Initially inspired by the pure joy of my Two year old God-daughter, Turtle's origin was weightless. Over the course of creation, Turtle began to carry with it many stories and many names. From a distance, she floats above the world undisturbed.

This piece was a meditation on what that must feel like. It was a meditation on a moment of piece for Black, Indigenous, and Palestinian people. So often on guard in response to the pressures of systemic violence. May we all experience peace.
