Run
"Run" by Rashid Johnson is a richly layered installation that brings together mirrored surfaces marked with gestural spray paint, the organic scent and texture of shea butter, lush living plants, and the domestic familiarity of carpet. These materials — drawn from Black cultural identity, personal history, and the natural world — collide and coexist in a space that feels simultaneously intimate and urgent. The work pulses with tension between rootedness and escape, inviting viewers to consider what it means to stay, to flee, or to survive.
