Mixed Media on Canvas 

48” X 60” 

This piece asks you to consider your roots. It does not ask for your bloodline but the seeds of life that proliferated long before you. The roots that served as the keeper of the land in which you live. It uses the silhouette of an indigenous chief, and its composition speaks of these people's relationship to modern society. The silhouette is in the center of the canvas, urging the viewer to focus on these cultures to understand their central role in allowing for the world we know today. Through style, the artist interweaves the urban culture of America today with that of its original landlords. The profile of the chief serves as the base, and modern street art style fills the inside of its borders, conveying the inseparable relationship of the two. No matter how much the current society changes, it will always be rooted in these indigenous peoples' life and energy.

One love
