JUNETEENTH 2023!
“CONSTRUCTED REALITY”
Despite it all, the blueprint says it all. Everything is written on the walls. It’s written all around us. It’s on and in and about everything. WE ARE NOT FREE! WE ARE NOT FREE! Anyone who doesn’t see this is a tool to further empower THEM over us! Anyone who sees this and recognizes it and yet prefers to act in ways opposite the interest of true growth and progression for Other People and People of Color…are worse than those who manipulate from behind the curtains.
❌ FREEDOM.
⭕️ REJECT ALL THAT IS! We MUST work to become FREE by loving each other. Respect each other! Appreciate each other! Uplift and SUPPORT each other!
🔻 START…TODAY!

(As posted to @Liam.Ian.LLC IG.)
The symbolism of this piece (and set) is to convey an artistic understanding of the current plight and situations of Black People and People of Color within America and around the world. With the central image being that of a hexagon formed into a one side-shaded cube, containing others within it, this embodies and conveys the concept of systems upon systems to develop and define reality. With the world immersed within technology, the other associated components of the piece show and indicate the prevalence of technology within life and existence…period. A background of wave shapes that are much more angular yet consistent with the perceived shape of the central cube imply a flow of control that impacts and resides within and behind all. Red meaning the urgency of the matters, the different messages and texts take their prominent places and positions as they do in reality.
Image element that conveys a message of Personal Growth that is necessary for true transformation. That transformation being into a personal capable of truly giving unto the world. This image is not downloadable.
Of course ending with the splatter of paints around and about the image edges, the white—being the original—just symbolizes the plain and basic nature of this as a component of White and White-ness within life. Red having a more urgent and prominent appearance symbolized just that—a priority of the messages no matter the decrepit state. Lastly, the Blood Red symbolizes the blood stains and blood spilled as a result of what had to be implemented.
A last and final version was done with a Gold splatter aesthetic. This image is considered a private piece only to be seen by exclusive and approved reviewers, clients and consumers. The Gold symbolizes all that was gained thru the implementation of these systems of control and oppression. Great wealth splattered over the canvas of plans and agendas to control.
*Building upon our Design Portfolio(s), this piece was developed outside of any project proposal and is regarded as a standalone piece done for and influenced by the Juneteenth Holiday. The effort behind this piece is to further encourage and inform that WE ARE NOT FREE!. As long as we continue to submit to the systems that exist around us on a daily basis within America, we are not and will not be Free.
