Today we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day — a time to honor the strength, creativity, and resilience of Indigenous communities.

This piece, Transmutation by , was created in partnership with Arts on the Point and the Native American and Indigenous Studies Program.

The two buffalo skulls stand as symbols of both loss and renewal. Thousands of ribbons, each tied by hand, carry messages of remembrance and hope from our community.

Reminding myself to shoot for the sake of shooting. To create without overthinking. To let ideas become a reality.

All credits to for the inspiration! 👏🏾

Shoutout to my daughter for being a beautiful patient model 🥰

Breathe Life – a mural, a message, and a movement. This piece by Problak is more than just paint on a wall—it’s a reflection of resilience, culture, and the soul of our community. Captured just a few streets from where I was raised, this neighborhood isn’t just where I’m from—it’s who I am. Dorchester, this will always be home. 💙✨ ”
