‘Forward’

The Creative Process:
Created in honor of Juneteenth

Set against a field of yellow light, five abstract faces look in different directions, reflecting the many ways we carry our past, navigate the present, and imagine the future.

Created in honor of Juneteenth, Forward speaks to freedom as both a journey and a responsibility. The figures do not move as one, yet they are connected by a shared story of resilience, growth, and possibility.

This piece is an invitation to reflect on where we come from, where we stand, and what it means to keep moving forward—with purpose, hope, and remembrance.

‘May we honor the past, stand fully in the present, and move FORWARD together’
