Black Pearl

• 
  

A concrete poem featuring select images from contemporary African archives. With the images masked in circles oscillating around the screen along the Z-axis, it creates the effect of pearls ebbing and flowing, “welling and swelling in the tide” (Angelou, 1978). By appearing to sink into the background it gives depth as if the screen were a black ocean. Should the spectator be viewing this poem on a monitor with a reflective surface, the black screen would reflect their likeness in its expanse as water would do.
