06.01.20

A collage of defiance: masked faces adorned with placard signs, fists raised against empty streets. Symbols of solidarity juxtaposed with the isolation of lockdowns. Humanity's resilience etched against the backdrop of a global crisis. In the wake of the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, thousands of people join during a lethal pandemic for a day of protest in Asbury Park, NJ. The digital photography series, “06.01.20,” represents the date of a nationwide racial justice movement, not seen since the American civil rights protests of the 1960’s. In a country where demands on behalf of Black lives are unmet, our history is fragmented where we are treated as subhuman; even in the dark (of frustration, anger, and hopelessness) we remain lucid.
