Passage is an oversize, found bust of Dr. Martin Luther King with an extended mohawk sculpted from a mixture of wave pomade and beeswax. A spotlight cast a shadow of the bust on the wall that reveals the profile of Barack Obama. The title Passage implies the passing on of Reverend King’s dream and the Civil Right’s torch while also referencing the Middle Passage of the transatlantic slave trade.
