Hues for Hope

2024

Artist Statement: Hues for Hope is based on my color palette and the stacked houses that I am best known for. The houses symbolize those changes whether the discussion is gentrification or the hope that is engrained in New Orleans regardless of tragedies like Katrina. (please note- houses will be placed strategically all over piano along with other elements of New Orleans)
