Chicago, Westside

A Black teenager rides a bicycle while chatting on his cellphone. He casts a perfect silhouette against a brightly graffitied, abandoned building. There are no identifiable features, nothing distinct… a cardboard cutout in the shape of a human being.

Rolling by on two wheels - this metaphor for what it often means to be Black in these United States.

Title inspired by the film “Black Art: In the Absence of Light.”
