Artist statement
I created this image as a concerted effort to capture feelings, beliefs, and thoughts of a black man in both his personal life and professional life. Some characteristics I gathered when I had conversations with the sitter ‘Chengetanai’ were that he is 1) Faithful, Familial, and Resilient, 2) Creative, Faithful, and Independent, 3) Attentive, Connected, and Woke, and 4) Knowledgeable, Congruent, and Unapologetically Black, and 5) Responsible, Faithful, and Supportive. By this process I aim to dismantle the constricting literary depictions of black men who equate selfhood with victimisation, isolation, and patriarchy. Instead, I reimagine black men whose identity is grounded in community, camaraderie, and intimacy
