having to create during this brutal season of unimaginable grief has shown me that my work does not require composure or certainty or strength, only presence. only the willingness to remain.

a three-part ceramic altar built around circular forms, light, and ritual.

twisted candelabras hold red candles. a raised central form carries Nkyinkyim, an Adinkra symbol of movement and change.

this piece became an altar for holding memory and staying in relation to it. for honoring the twists that life inevitably has for us and remaining steady in the creative practices that have saved my life before
