Breakaway State Paintings

Phase four marks a new iteration of Breakaway State through a series of paintings. Each painting is a still rendering taken from the video performance Breakaway State footage, 2020, commissioned by The Parallel State and funded by Future's Venture. These works draw on the aesthetics and themes of migration, echoing the layered narratives in Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust and the cultural migrations explored in Zora Neale Hurston's writings and quotes.

Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.
