Father Time

Inspired by Kendrick Lamar's 'Father Time', this piece was created with the intention to explore what it means to heal from generational trauma and taking the steps towards taking care of ones mental health. Within the black community only recently we have started to take our mental health seriously, and actively aim to heal ourselves. For black men it isn't talked about enough, and how important it is to be open with ones feelings. Apart of my Empowered and Loved series (aimed for black men) I wanted to create a piece as an answer that you can feel empowered by protecting ones mental health and finding peace in embracing ones feelings. Breaking the tropes that black men can be strong and cry, be able to express themselves and feel loved by the world.
