Stomping Down The Street: On My Own Off-Rhythm Beat
finds a means of silently making noise with my favourite boots, which lost their click sound after heel repair. Through the plastic add-on sonic presence (clack!) and visibility is emphasized, without actually being vocal.

Through the reconstruction of an icon, in this case Frank Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry Magazine, I reworked his method of sharing all that encompasses him silently. Through visual design and text
he shares narratives of blackness, queerness, introspection and desire. Re-imagining the clack sound of my boots back is my way of taking back agency on queer and black presence in spaces.
