              <text>The abstract work is a reflection of what is in people's mind (not facing the hard core truth). It has 4 abstract images from different period of time which were never portrayed in the field of deaf arts. In earliest day, we were called "Negro'  as we were identified, based on our skin color and sold in slavery...as time goes by, we were called "Nigger" out of their despite and hate.  As the years go by we were called colored as we were equal but separated....not long ago, we were called "Black" as the certain people with all the mixed emotions (positive and negative). </text>
