NEW NOVEL
Fog is a story about finding the more intimate details of human nature inside of a very obvious reality. Centuries in the future, the Fog separates the entire world into two sides, one for people of color and the other for white people. They don't know that the others exist and so they live their very different lives in their very different worlds normally, never thinking that something or someone else lies on the other side of the border. Abloh, from one side, and Kaia, from the other, find themselves together in the Fog, reckoning with their differences as people and the differences in the people they both come from. In a visual and imaginative world, Fog follows the perspective of Abloh and Kaia and they grow a relationship, cross the Fog together, and reckon with the broken histories of their people.
PUNCTUATING A LIFE: A POETRY BOOK
Punctuating a Life started off as a book that would honor my grandfather's life. I'd like to think that the project still carries out its original mission, but the evolutions and transformations it made surprised even me. I went through an emotional journey with this project that the preface and conclusion struggle to capture holistically and I never could have predicted how a simple and elegant idea for a poetry book remodeled itself into a visual and literary album that speaks to so much more than just my grandfather's life and my relationship with him. There is an openness, abstractness, and broadness to the work which prompts intentional reading and emotional response and I hope that the text, poems, and illustrations asks questions that lead you to your own new interpretations of the lives and deaths around you.
