Love in the Spotlight

 


Love in the Spotlight. Digital art created on canvas. December 29, 2024. Afrika Abney


“The 2020 movie Emerson Heights explores the idea of whether it's possible to pursue one's passion while also following one's heart. The movie tells the story of Cody McClain (Austin James), an aspiring actor in Los Angeles who falls in love with Briley Williams (Gatlin Green), a woman from New York. The two begin a long-distance relationship, but Cody's career takes off when he lands the lead role in a blockbuster film. He struggles to balance his newfound fame with his feelings for Briley, especially when his co-star develops feelings for him. 

Some say that the movie is a cute love story that inspires viewers to look for real love. Others say that Austin James carries the movie, and that it was likely a passion project for him. 

You can watch Emerson Heights on Pluto TV.”


I visited New York from 1992 - 1993 and during this time, I was a high school student. I have always followed my heart and put passion into everything that I do.

Brown Empowerment

    “Labor Day holds a significant place in the history and culture of African Americans, serving as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for labor rights and social justice. Originally established to honor the contributions of workers across the nation, this holiday also reflects the unique challenges faced by African Americans in the workforce. Historically, African Americans have encountered systemic barriers, including discrimination and unequal pay, which have shaped their experiences in the labor market. As a result, Labor Day not only celebrates the achievements of workers but also highlights the need for continued advocacy for equity and inclusion in employment. The observance of this day encourages reflection on the progress made and the work that remains to ensure that all individuals, regardless of race, can enjoy fair labor practices and opportunities for advancement.” As an African - American since I was a high school student in 1991, I have experienced racism and d...

Unity in Motion

    “Unity in Motion emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and collaboration within the arts community, promoting a sense of togetherness. During my time at various art institutions, I encountered instances of racism and discrimination. These experiences were disheartening and highlighted the challenges faced within the visual art and dance community.

Despite my commitment to providing high-quality services, there were instances where payments were delayed or not received at all and raised concerns about the professionalism of the organizations involved. It is important to note that throughout my interactions with these companies, I did not render any services since I was last hired.

Golden Shadow

Golden Shadow. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney Golden Shadow is a captivating abstract digital artwork that masterfully explores the interplay between vibrant yellow hues and profound black tones. This striking contrast serves as a powerful metaphor for the duality of existence, illustrating how light and darkness can coexist harmoniously within a single composition. The addition of various shades of brown further enriches the visual narrative, creating a sense of depth and complexity that invites viewers to reflect on the intricate balance of opposing forces in life. This dynamic relationship between light and shadow not only captivates the viewer but also encourages a deeper contemplation of the themes of hope and despair, joy and sorrow. The subtle incorporation of brown tones adds warmth to the piece, grounding the vibrant colors and enhancing the overall emotional resonance of the artwork.
