Foundations is a woven tapestry that includes imagery of my astrological birth chart, my family tree, and a mixture of text that includes a prayer and words of affirmation from songs that bring me confidence. This piece is very important to me because it is uncommon for Black people in America to be able to trace their ancestry without disconnected historical record keeping. I am privileged that my maternal family line has been documented and is accessible as far back as the 1860s. I think it is really easy to exist in a space and not feel the support that surrounds us every day, so this work is like an affirmational piece to know that I have a place I can trace myself within the stars and that I am also supported by my ancestors.
