From Daisha Board Gallery:
“The title of the exhibition “we ARE” is the representation of our collective society and conveys the beauty in every individual. It illustrates the space we are all entitled to in the opening line of the constitution, “We the people….”
My work continues to be a celebration of diversity, self-love, and changing people’s perceptions. The portraits are personal, with the creative decisions based on my conversations with each subject filtered through my artistic lens as a highly sensitive, intuitive em path. I asked what has impacted them most in their lives— seeking to understand how people are shaped by their experiences and the skills they learned to cope without focusing on any particular knowledge or trauma. The discussions varied on race, sexual orientation, and being transgender, among other inter sectional subjects. I focused on the hope and growth from their learning, and in doing so, put a voice to the face.
“Now more than ever is a time to listen to each other to build better understanding and find empathy. Representation is important, and this exhibition is a representation of my community.” @joeybrockart”
