QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil

"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks).

About Ocean Morisset...

I'm a Haitian-American, self-taught photographer specializing in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography. While these generes of photography are my passions, I don't hesitate in the least when the urge engulfs me to shoot abstractions, or still life objects. What's important to me is that I keep creating. My pictures are my building blocks of my own life, and a blue-print of my soul. I'm enjoying the process of self-discovery through photography. Thanks for joining me on my journey!
