The "Universal Change" installation showcases the current direction of my work, which combines language, graphic design, carving, and painting to create portals into the human experience. The piece is inspired by the Afro-futurist sci-fi author Octavia Butler and her words from the Parable of the Sower series. It explores the concept of embracing hope and change even during the darkest periods of humanity. Black ancestry and descendants are depicted throughout the pieces and painted in the starscape on the walls. The installation is meant to be viewed as a cycle – there is no clear start or ending. It can be viewed from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top, reflecting the idea that there is technically no past or future, only the present and how you choose to perceive it.
