In “A Blessing,” “The Sound of Absolute Freedom,” “A Choreography of Choices,” “An Order of Light” and “Wild Delight,” we are witnessing various moments of activation, symphonies of ancient processes. These pieces depict whimsical vortexes, openings for time travel, or portals where time and space do not exist. The now-Afronauts float and tumble through an environment that shimmers with life and color. The Black seascape from There’s a Wave in Every Cell is echoed here, but bustles with bright and luminescent forms once we get a closer view. This work represents a moment of relief, of transformative potential, and magic from the first break from the ship. The processes of luminescent life have transformed their shackles into silver disks made of iridescent abalone shells. Like abalone mollusks who can repair their own shells, they are tapped into ancient patterns of self-repair and transcendent freedom. Both the silver that spins around their ankles and their blooming afros assist them in navigating the journey.
