Description

This was originally nspired by "The Pieta" (1499), a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture by the renowned artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Where Michelango portrayed a youthful Madonna to symbolize her incorruptible purity, I sought to portray a black mother's painful and fearful dilemma ('Sorriness') on how to enable her black son to flourish as a man, and at the same time, ensure his safety and survival in America. Where it once was Michelangelo who inspired me, now, it is America's Crucifixion of young, unarmed black men and women by its law enforcement officers who cruise the streets of Black communities looking for excuses to satisfy their blood lust for the lives of America's young citizens whose skin happens to be black or brown!!!
