The images in this body of
work examine the future of
race relationships, and how
current offspring will unfold
new racial identities in the years to
come. My project is called
Human Pangea out of my desire
to pull the two dynamics,
earth and humans, to a
closer parallel. Some 250
million years ago, earth was
called Pangea. The term means
"all earth."
Like the earth, human beings have
been participating in a similar dance
only this dance is the dance of
human racial designs. Human
Pangaea is when races converge
and diverge to create new features,
hues, and identities. In the future, I
believe, one family will host children
with multiple pigmentations, facial
features, and ethnic and racial
characteristics; this, in fact, is
already occurring in countries
like Brazil and Dominican
Republic, where at least
80% of the population claims to be
of mixed heritage.
