Ervin A. Johnson states "that blackness is often seen as monolithic, forcing the experiences of many through a bottleneck of racism and systematic oppression until the individual becomes the whole. #InHonor: Monoliths is a literal take on that notion. Portraits are digitally collaged bringing individuals of different and shared experiences together. Forging new identities and bridging gaps, while creating more distance between others."
