Ride or Fly

2025
Mixed Media, Acrylic on cardboard 41 × 49 in

Ride or Fly celebrates the limitless imagination of childhood, where play becomes the first expression of ambition. Framed by an oversized racing helmet and the iconic Hot Wheels emblem, the young child looks beyond the present with quiet determination, reminding us that every dream begins long before the journey itself. Through luminous monochromatic portraiture, vibrant color, and subtle Haitian symbolism, the work honors resilience, identity, and the fearless optimism that inspires us to choose possibility over limitation.
