Mirror Photograph - Limited Edition of 3

In the vast expanse of New York City's Grand Central Station, a woman of African descent graces the great hall with her presence. The word "race" deeply troubles me; it is a relic of the 19th century that erroneously categorizes human distinctions based on biology. Its persistent use in our language perpetuates harmful misconceptions about skin color, fueling systemic prejudice that marginalizes non-European descendants. I firmly believe that we must seek new terminology to dismantle these damaging ideas and foster more inclusive conversations. During the creation of this series, titled "Passenger," my lens captured the countenances of countless individuals. Interestingly, I can count on both hands the number of non-European descendants who crossed my path. It's crucial to note that my selection process aimed for randomness, drawing inspiration from Merce Cunningham's use of chance methods in his choreography and techniques from urban archaeology. This photograph and the woman it portrays directly confront my exploration of who has access to spaces like Grand Central Station. What becomes strikingly evident is the overwhelming presence of people of European descent in my frame. It's challenging to ignore the subtle, unspoken segregation that seems to persist in places like Grand Central Station, influencing both psychological and physical access. Even in the absence of overt legal barriers, these spaces often carry unwritten directives that shape opportunities for non-European descendants. This image invites contemplation of the intricate dynamics of access and inclusion that persist in our society. I invite discerning collectors who appreciate the fusion of art and culture. By acquiring this exclusive piece, you invest in an exquisite work of art and contribute to preserving our contemporary era's essence. Each print is titled, dated, numbered, and personally signed on the verso, with a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing its origin and intrinsic value.
