FRAGMENTS, DETACHED, DISCONNECTED

YEAR: 2022

LOCATION: NOM-MOC-NI, San Antonio, TX

"Fragments, Detached, Disconnected" is a series crafted as a personal reflection on the artist's journey in communicating with oneself and others. Through the creation and dissemination of these communications, the artist discovers a surprising realization - a sense of connection that prevails despite initial perceptions of disconnection. Delving into the themes of detachment, the artist questions whether this detachment is from the world or from within. The narrative unfolds as a continuous exploration of taking steps forward and finding repose, emphasizing the ongoing journey to understand and heal the mind, body, and soul.

The series highlights the acknowledgment that our brokenness is not a fault, but a responsibility to mend ourselves into something beautiful. It also conveys the message that self-sabotage is not an act of self-love, and self-preservation is distinct from self-love. Dedicated to cherished figures in the artist's life, including the grandmother, Christine "Dadda" Pierre, a community matriarch who loved the artist unconditionally, Dr. Marvin Fabian, a cousin who passionately pursued his artistic endeavors until his passing, and Marlon Daway, a nephew whose presence unknowingly saved the artist's life.

The artist extends gratitude to the audience, expressing appreciation for their presence. The transmission concludes, leaving the viewer with a contemplative reflection on the intricate layers of human connection and the ongoing journey towards self-discovery and healing.
