Katrina Baby nail set in honor of this week of remembrance as New Orleans is observing the 21st anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

I will never forget the experience of when I was 5 years old and being scared because we had to leave home and evacuate to Houston two days before the storm hit. We all just wanted to gather together to make sure everyone was safe so about 6/8 of my moms siblings traveled with their partners and kids, which resulted in over 20 family members living together in my teedee house for a few days.

I was too young to understand why the adults were so sad and distraught, I was happy to have all my cousins around but it was still a heavy feeling in the air. Living through the past 21 years has definitely made it painfully clear why this was such an impactful storm. Katrina is still on record as the costliest hurricane in U.S history. Over $200 billion in damages. And it has taken decades to fully recover from all the loss. taken in New Orleans, Louisiana by @sstroyed

✨Watch until the end to see the full process✨

“Walk us through your process when making the wave”—
When @jomanidanielle asked me this question during our Artists Talk for Water No Get Enemy i tried to quickly summarize this 4 day fabrication project but i knew no words could explain, so my ultimate answer would be to just trust the process. When creating my installations, I always go into it with a plan but after time and time again of being forced to surrender to the art of the pivot, I have i realized that everything happens just as it should when i let the spirit guide me and take control. Id rather show you better than I can tell you. I hope you appreciate this video I created to show you guys my unique and chaotic process. There is absolutely NO guide to being a set designer. I just jump in the field and figure it out.

Thank you to @artcrawlharlem & @governorsisland for providing the space & opportunity that housed my creation. taken in New York, New York by @sstroyed
