Oedipus
This project explores care, grief, and responsibility following my father’s untimely death. Through anatomical studies of feet and hands, the work connects the Greek myth of Oedipus with the significance of feet in the Black diaspora, particularly referencing Black Union soldiers and themes of legacy, struggle, and fate.
