He strives for greater representation and visibility of melanated people in his art. Traditional art has long lacked diversity, primarily featuring European and white perspectives, resulting in a limited representation of Nubian individuals. He creates Black art to increase visibility and authentically portray the beauty and diversity of Nubian culture. Challenging traditional art norms, he aims to create new avenues for expression and appreciation, fostering a more inclusive and representative art world that celebrates the full range of human experiences.
