The 70, 2021

The black silhouetted figures represent the 70 (approximate) enslaved Black Americans Harriet Tubman freed from bondage in the antebellum south. The figures, of irregular shapes and sizes, appear to be twisting, turning, and contorting themselves as they embark on their journey towards freedom, while the blue and green represents the land and rivers they had to cross. The twisting and turning doesn’t just represent the thrust of pulling upward but more so the conundrum of venturing into an unknown whereby if caught they will be met with certain death but if one stays they would maintain the continuity of normal abnormality.
