EXPANDING SOUL
This install was part of ‘The World Reimagined’ project, showcasing over 100 globes. Each tells its own story of the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade in modern society from a different lens.
“Expanding Soul” was my theme. I wanted to create something celebratory, something vibrant and something that embodies soul in its purest forms. I wanted to explore music, community, food, love- elements that are often rooted in African and Caribbean culture. I want people to see images that resonate with them in some shape or form. I included one anecdote that connects me to this work too, an old photo that’s close to my heart of my Grandfather cutting my cousins hair. My hope for it - as the theme suggests, is that it opens and expands the soul.
