Me, U, and the Atlantic

Oil, 3’x4’ $4,000

This profound piece captures the spirit of the African diaspora and the enduring connection between ancestors and the Atlantic Ocean. At its center is a levitating figure, embodying the spirit of those who endured the harrowing Middle Passage. She gazes across the vast expanse of the Atlantic, her longing directed toward the homeland.

The figure’s weightless form symbolizes the resilience and transcendence of the ancestors, rising above the immense suffering of the journey. The artwork speaks to memory, heritage, and the unbreakable bond between the diaspora and Africa, inviting viewers to reflect on both the pain and strength that define this shared history.
