Hope Momentum
This collection was a reaction to racist policies and systems deeply enmeshed with oppression during a viral pandemic. Reconciling so much loss while isolating felt insurmountable. I wanted to stay energized and find new ways to cope. This work reflects the power of hope and the significance of keeping it alive.
