    "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 pictures of models, landscapes and interiors are illuminated with black light. The images are on the border of seeing and not seeing, and are full of references to elements and use of African-American culture. In Black Christmas, for example, we see under the Christmas tree toys designed in the 1950s for black children.
