“It feels like there is a target on our backs. America has demonstrated that they can show restraint and apprehend offenders that have committed major crimes, mass shootings, etc. where the culprit is arrested and relatively unharmed, but when the suspect is Black it feels as though all someone has to do is POINT and Shots are being fired… where the “being Black” part is the actual unforgivable, death sentence crime and not the merits of the violation.”
Photographers Notes: I wanted the TARGET to really stand out and used selective color to make it POP. The number of of arrows symbolize the intentionality of the shots being fired. The hoodie references Trayvon Martin and the “hoodie profiling” that was brought to light. And the heaviness that’s present when feel like you’re targeted.
