"INFINITE BLACK LIVES MATTER INFINITELY"
I had created the digital painting above, entitled, “Infinite Black Lives Matter Infinitely”, to honor the late George Floyd, as well as the Black Lives Matter movement in general. It was important to me that I shine an honorific light on this man, who had become not only the latest in a long string of black and brown people to be victimized at the hands of police violence; but whose death became an international rallying cry against racist authoritarian abuse.
