"There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

The video Gleaning: An Image Reclamation Project focuses on the examination of visual culture from a black perspective. Combining sequences of the many found print images, as well as footage the artist took himself, that form his personal image bank, the video is a kind of essay into representations of the black subject in society. Marshall adds images to the work regularly, and thus it continues to grow in length.
