μη φοβοῦ, an image of cobbled together pieces that I think will come together well in further artwork.

I drew the majority of this piece while listening to a lecture given by Cornell West and Carl Dix, when they came to campus in May. It was a really inspirational lecture–despite the fact that both of the speakers disagreed on a lot of things, and that I disagreed with Read more…
