Black History Month projects always feel personal to me. My work is all about reimagining superheroes across pop culture, music, and sport. Bringing that lens to this commission was both an honour and a celebration – of history, of representation, and of the everyday heroism we witness in the game.
There’s courage in stepping onto the field, in carrying legacy, in performing under pressure. I wanted to translate that energy visually with the Canadian Football League's REDBLACKS. The composition leans into motion and impact, with kinetic bursts of Pan-African colours (greens, reds and yellow) scattered as tiny dots across the frame. Those fragments build and crescendo into a fist exploding with energy at the center, symbolizing unity, resilience, and collective strength.
