2019-2021
In “The Dream Continued,” the viewer observes children playing the game of jacks. This childhood interaction initiates them to a world awaiting them. The ball/globe in the girl’s hand suggests future and equal opportunities. These opportunities symbolically lie in front of her; she controls her own impact on society.
The work addresses all aspects of race & gender in our newly evolving social situation where multiple ethnicities of children work, play and live together. Such a way of life is what the great Dr. Martin Luther King referred to in his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech: “...And if America is to be a great nation, this [equality] must become true.”](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7a741f_c853df47314a4285a288fac88a608a1f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_376,h_376,fp_0.62_0.36,q_90/7a741f_c853df47314a4285a288fac88a608a1f~mv2.webp)

A bust detail of the 'DREAM CONTINUED' girl with the world of opportunity in her hands. Taking us all back to [our] childhood times when things were simple, and all kids could play the most simple of playground games. A beautiful accepting and co-existence of children living, playing and loving each other.
The girl has aged slightly from the core DREAM CONTINUED sculpture in which she is playing jacks with the other children. She has a reflective yet focused look on her face, deep in thought. What does she know about the [historical] past and present inequalities, challenges and flaws and what would she like different in the future? What are her thoughts and dreams and how have they changed with what she's been exposed to in society? What would she like different?
With the core narrative of the work referencing equality, unity, peace and love, the heart and mind of the audience that the work is inspired by and intended for comes to light: children and future generations. The notion of thinking more like children is implored as creating a more beautiful world of not opportunity for all and of unlimited potential as a human race.
