Roots deep, souls free.

This striking black-and-white collage blends past and present to show the ongoing fight for Black justice and equality. At the center is a powerful image of a Black woman’s face, fractured to reflect both pain and resilience. Surrounding her are historic and modern protest scenes, signs like “Stop Police Killings” and “Black Lives Matter,” and a young girl behind a fence, symbolizing innocence caught in systems of oppression. A scarecrow figure looms in the middle, representing the haunting legacy of racism. While most police officers serve with integrity, this piece highlights the harm caused when some do not—reminding us why the fight for justice continues.
