H.I.M. Part II (2022)
Mixed media on canvas
16x20 inches
H.I.M. references the artist's last trip to Ethiopia in 2018. On that visit the artist paid a visit to Addis Ababa University which once was the dwelling place of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I. During his visit, the artist went to the restroom and noticed that 109 was written on a door near the bathroom. The mystery of who had written 109 on the door, and why, was enough to vex and perplex the artist.
