Moses in the CocoYam, 2024

“My uncle Deron has been the keeper of peace, the provider of the people, and loved by the community. He works the land and is religious in his own rite. I pictured him as this monumental figure descending the mountain, metaphorically as Moses back to the people. Cocoyam or Taro is a type of root staple showing up in soups and other comfort dishes. The various shapes of the leaves dancing in the breeze and clustered together in support much like community.”
