tells the arc of the composition in physical form. Sculptures, mixed media painting, and floor to ceiling visual projections cover the space and evolve throughout the experience to guide visitors through 3 realms:
The Realm of The Concrete, The Realm of Transcendence, and The Realm of Spirit.

Sculpture
Visual projections cover the space from floor to ceiling, pulsing between the concrete and immaterial. Footage of protest, prison and city scape mirror each other connecting the foundational violence of the US, the carceral state, and the concrete landscapes we continue to find ourselves trapped within.

As the show progresses, the projections evolve pulling visitors form the harshness of our concrete reality into the boundless ether of imagination, nature and spirit.
