Print Based on my •FATHER FIGURES• Mural in Detroit, MI.
This Artwork is meant to honor the Father Figures that play pivotal roles in the upbringing of our youth. Utilizing various shades of vibrant colors I intended to Champion and Glorify those bonds between Father Figures and the children they care for.
In my own life I was blessed to have a Grandfather that served as my Father Figure who instilled many lessons and principles that I hold to and exercise to this very day. From being my boxing coach for almost a decade to teaching me how to play chess and be a fisherman. Through each of those were lessons and guides of Discipline, Tactfulness, and Resilience that I took on and helped developed my character and way of life.
For others, Father figures hold immense importance in the lives of African American youth in particular, playing a central role in their development and well-being. These figures often provide a strong source of guidance, mentorship, and support that can be transformative. Their impact is particularly significant in shaping the identity and self-esteem of African American youth. By offering positive role models who demonstrate resilience, pride, and cultural awareness, father figures help young individuals navigate the complexities of racial identity in a society marked by historical and contemporary racial challenges.
