the
Prison Institution
2019
Bricks and Debris from Ussher Fort (former slave port and prison institution)
A prison institution left
Alone for rot and decay
Suffering the same fate it
Bestowed on so many
Prisoners and enslaved Africans.
The body and
The mind broken
Down into pieces.
Rippling the black body and mind into
PTSD, Self Hate and the
Industrial Prison Complex.
I've Imprisoned these
Loose bricks and debris,
From Ussher fort,
strapped and locked away in
Solitude
Within its own prison cell.
To rot.
