Is this all I am to you (2025) from the Eulogy of Basquiat Series is a 30 x 30 inch mixed-media work featuring a found crocodile skin leather slide, acrylic, oil pastel, and marker on canvas. The piece questions the ethics of luxury and animal exploitation, referencing the cost of using exotic skins in fashion. It challenges viewers to reflect on empathy and consumption, asking what it means to value beauty built on suffering, while also preserving the object as a non-functional, symbolic artifact.
