Decommissioning Stage 4 is an invocation. The installation includes elements of Kemetic, West African, and African-American spiritual science, technology and imagery.

It affirms the fact that the ancestors have the backs of the central figure and the being(s) it embodies. Click below to watch the virtual artist statement.
