Clasp, Unravel, Let go

Cassandra gazes up at the dagger she holds up to the heavens. Her face is bathed in light as she lunges towards the dagger, one arm and leg extending away. Behind her is a large framed classical portrait, Ajax and Cassandra by Solomon Joseph Solomon. Ajax, naked and muscled carries Cassandra away from the Temple of Athena while she reaches back to it.

From God to Predator: CASS by Humble Materials Reframes the Apollo Narrative

There is a black grassy horizon line and a mostly full red moon rising. In the circle of the moon is a young black woman in a short sleeve white shirt and a black vest. Her Right arm is raised so her hands can frame above and below a small upside down american flag. She wears a circus style top hat and a mask over the bottom half of her face that is a clown's wide smile.

Let the past be an enduring reminder…

Ada Fujita lays shirtless on a bed unmade with orange and multicolored blankets. They rest their head on their hand and gaze softly down and to the side. They take up most of the image frame, visible from the waist up, their buzzed head center frame. A polished wood bedside table with potted plants, more blankets, and a stuffed animal are blurry behind them. Ada’s tattoos of leaves and line drawings interplay with the patterns of their bedding.
