For my Nana & to the generations before us. This diptych reflects on the cycle of life, death, & ancestral presence through Caribbean foodways, family objects, & the passage of time. Jamaica’s national fruit, ackee, appears alongside pineapple, baby’s breath, & a zemi figure passed down through my family, believed to house the spirits of our ancestors after they have passed. In the second panel, decaying baby’s breath encircles a wooden corn totem from my childhood home, cast beneath the shadow of Canadian oak, while fading ackee & pineapple skin evoke the inevitable return to the earth. Together, these elements consider how memory, ancestry, & love continue to live within the objects, foods, & stories we inherit.

A dream gallery full of work, memory, sacrifice, & love. This solo thesis show marks the fast approaching end of my MFA journey. Created in the quiet hours between motherhood, marriage, work, & everything in between.
To my people: thank you for holding me up while I chased this dream. None of this exists without you. So proud. So grateful. 🤍🥹🫶🏾

Hi everyone! My thesis exhibition Roots & Remnants opens May 17th. This body of work transforms Caribbean and Southern botanicals into sculptural still lifes exploring memory, identity, and generational connection through a multicultural, diasporic lens. Incorporating Canadian plant shadows alongside these forms, the series layers presence and absence, reflecting on distance, ritual, and the act of preserving lineage. Presented as diptychs inspired by our ancestral offering tables, the work becomes a quiet offering of its own that bridges past and present through texture, light, and color.

Hope to see you at the opening!

WHEN: Opening Reception – May 17th | Exhibition: May 17th–23rd
WHERE: Arnika Dawkins Photographic Fine Art Gallery, 4600 Cascade Rd., Atlanta, GA 30331
