Soul on Ice
A fragmented mirror serves as the reflective ground for Johnson's bold spray-painted marks, creating a tension between visibility and obscuration. The work references Eldridge Cleaver's seminal 1968 autobiography, invoking themes of Black identity, confinement, and self-examination. The artist's frame asserts Johnson's deliberate control over how the piece is encountered, collapsing the boundaries between image, object, and authorship.
