eume, short for eumelanin was the third installment of an interactive exhibition trilogy forthe Overtown Music and Arts Festival.
eume celebrated brown and black skin tones, allowing festival-goers to draw themselves into their city's fabric.
The piece was constructed from two 6x6' hexagons and three 5' pentagons. An aerial view of the exhibition mimicked the composition of eumelanin, the specific melanin that creates brown and black skin tones.
WE ARE REFLECTIONS (W.A.R.)
How many kids are celebrating their birthdays in cages?
Balloons, often associated with celebration are used as symbols of protest in We Are Reflections (W.A.R.). Mylar is the same material used in the blankets given to people abducted and held by I.C.E. Mylar mirrors, forcing passersby to reflect on their role of government compliance or defiance in our society.
