Overview

Purpose

She asked.

“Did anyone tell you how important you are?

Did they tell you how much you mean?

A representation of growth.

Cause you

An embodiment of generations

Trials and tribulations

But Talent to save nations.

Anger and aggression lie inside

The trials struggle against your light.

Cause you.

A journeyman

A yin and yang

Dichotomous.

Either they see the wild or

They see the beauty.

Few see both.

But me, I do

For your road was long,

And mine was too.

So how can I blame you?

Instead, look to the trees.

Beauty without conformity

Enough space through overgrowth

To let light through.

That is you.

The hope for those that look to you.

So now,

You know the importance of you.”

Shakur

This collection represents wild light. To flourish

The tone of Angelou comes from the poet Maya Angelou and her conversation with Tupac Shakur. In her eyes, the space that Shakur occupied told a story of wild light shining through the darkness. Casting shadows for all to see. Enlightenment amidst turbulent circumstances. It reminded her of the importance of bringing that path to the light, and flourishing in the growth with enough space to let the light shine through. Thus creating hope and pride in the journeyman.

Each impression in this collection is meant to represent transformation. Thus representing the subject's journey and growth.
