Health and Human Services Homeland Security - 100 Children Under Five in Detention Centers...

Currently exhibited at Gallery Guichard in Chicago IL, Bronzeville Art District

HHS- HS- 100 is a series that I began in 2018 as a response to the 100 children that were in custody under the age of five. 

Panel #1 Border Surge of Illegal Immigration, 

our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving hopeful immigrants who still see American as a land of opportunity. 

Figure of the little boy is a homeland security border patrol officer looking at the child (representing all the screaming of children) behind the American flag, crying from being traumatize, separated from their families, their mama, because of the choice of wanting to come to America the land of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

Star Strange Banner, “Oh Say Can You See” 

as they bend the knee all America is watching, a tot wearing his football jersey while watching the events of the news, all America is watching even the three-year-old, and the four-year-old, pre-K, old enough to formulate the question of “Why” and have empathy. Our government should remember the first five years are especially crucial for physical, intellectual, and social-emotional development. 

Panel #2: “The Grass is Greener on the Other Side”

Kim Jong Un, "Rocket Man

Kim Jon Un and Donald Trump at five years old looking at the world as if it is one big playground. North Korea dictator picking up where his daddy left off, the boy dictator who bested the US president “Rocket Man”. The flattery nicknames a 911 president mockingly uses for a dictator-turned-murderer, who is hell-bent to improving his half-baked missiles in order to attain "military equilibrium" with the United States.

Out of the many titles conferred on Kim Jong Un, "Rocket Man" would probably be the one he treasures the most, especially when it comes from a president who is as politically dangerous as him—a few tweets might suffice to drop a bomb on North Korea to send the Kim dynasty to hell sooner than later.

“You’re the best son money can buy,” Trump tells Waldo in 1994’s “The Little Rascals,” where he cameos as the rich boy’s father. Here he sets waving the American flag likes it’s a lollipop, and green apple in his hands being a rascal. 


Trump-"I want to build a wall" 
Reporter-"would you build a fence" 
Trump" I could build a bit of a fence then I will build a wall because it is more formal" 
Reporter-"do you despise the Mexicans?" 
Trump-"no I just do not want drugs in this beautiful country"
Donald Trump-America's President 2k16 
Wall-A big brick fence 
Donald Trump-I'm Going to call my wall Donald Trump's Wall 

This ball of liberty I believe most piously is now so well in motion that it will roll around the globe. 06/01/1795 Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Tench Coxe.

Panel #3: “We the People”
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

What makes us exceptional is what makes us American President Barack Obama 01/21/2012

The painting hanging in Gallery Guichard, for the Fingerprints Exhibition 

This is a first in many compositions I’m planning to do of my grand-daughter portrayed here at two and six months. She wraps herself in fabric, as she often does, she plays under it, loves the way the wind blows it, and here she draped it on her head. I took these images from my won lens. My daughter knows the importance of being documented, she fought for three years to be able to have a passport, for traveling inside and outside of the United States for Dani. We all have our passports and are connected to homeland national security. 

She is an American she is free, and she is equal not only in the eyes of God but also in our own. The need is critical for us to carry documents that show we are from the United States of America while living in America while being black in America.  Because at any time we can be denied our human rights based on the color of our skin, by embracing our African self. The Universal Human Rights Article 4: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. But as we can see the Trump Administration can use the Family Separation Act, as a political ploy toying with our freedom.

The panel #3 “We the People”, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1948, was the result of the experience of the Second World War.

The Supreme court upheld the Trump administration’s travel ban 5-4, affirming the president’s power over matters of national security. The latest iteration of the ban includes restrictions against five majority-Muslim nations — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. North Korea and Venezuela are also on the list. Three other majority-Muslim nations, including Chad, Iraq, and Sudan have been removed since the policy was implemented through an executive order in January 2017.
