NADA House 2022

"For NADA House 2022, I am considering moments of lost reflection within the past few years. In spite of reproducing familiar images centering national and racial identity at the periphery of trauma, war, violence and displacement, I focused on representing moments of quiet dialogue - a meeting of subjects that carry with them their own cultural and social identities—yet offer a potential perspective in representing the act of rest and quiet as an active, and subversive space to the cacophony of noise in our daily lives. Governors Island is represented as the primary landscape for this reflection." – Gerald Sheffield II
