Dream Deferred (2023-2024)
In my "Dream Deferred Series," I draw deep inspiration from Langston Hughes’ poignant poem, What Happens to a Dream Deferred. Like Hughes' exploration of delayed dreams, the metals in my work undergo a transformation—revealing hidden depths, evolving textures, and changes that reflect the unpredictable nature of dreams left to fester.
The oxidation process mirrors the deterioration of postponed aspirations, as they erode or take on new, unexpected forms, much like how unfulfilled dreams manifest in life. This connection between the metals and their environment reflects the resilience of the human spirit, capable of enduring and adapting in the face of adversity.
Ultimately, my art serves as a testament to the enduring power of dreams, even when deferred. It echoes Hughes' final, emphatic question: "Or does it explode?" This line encapsulates the tension between enduring patience and the potential for explosive change, reminding us that dreams, even when delayed, hold the power to shape and be shaped by the world—unpredictable, yet profoundly transformative.
