He sits among the periwinkle

This is a piece that highlights the contemplative energy of joy and reflection. There is a man sitting in a field of periwinkle he’s been there so long he’s become connected to it via his hair. Periwinkle was a flower used amongst black people in the time of grave honoring. Many people didn’t have access to the more seemingly prestigious flowers. So in the spirit of remembering periwinkle was planted at the grave site. Today you can see these flowers sprouting everywhere and they serve as a reminder of those who came before, and made a way.
