Description - This painting was a direct reflection of the American experience for a black person. The body is dismantled to show the different forms of harm that America has cause to the Black person. Sitting in the chair reflecting on the humbling experience of still showing compassion for those around. The Bible and projection of the face represent that many Black Americans are Christians. This is hard to understand for many because of the introduction to the faith through slavery. The head being placed in front of the blue palette to represent it diving into the water. Baptism is a call for you to rid yourself of your old and be born again. Which again explains the body looking torn apart its of this world the head is searching for new light in Christ. This was painted with intention to express.
