2020 started off with me tired AF but still pushing through to get shit accomplished because what choice do we have? this full stop that the covid-19 pandemic has thrust onto the world has given me a chance to have a break, to reflect, to grieve, to mourn, to begin anew. it brought me to this quote by late great toni morrison. This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self pity, no need for silence, and no room for fear. We do language. That is how civilizations heal." this piece is inspiration to other artists to create and put work out there. we have value. we have something to say.
