![The peace is ignorance. This piece is cognitive dissonance.
My watchwords: "ambient abuse" & "gnosis".
I'd superposed these scripts onto & around the Afro-Face; my adaptation of an untitled acrylic piece, painted by Kerry James Marshall of Watts, LA in 2008.
Ambient Abuse: The ambient abuse is committed in the flesh, & extenuated in the mind.
Thus I’d tattooed this watchword above the top lip, & on the forehead (pineal gland) of the Afro-Faces in the center of my flag. From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Our heart’s mind is the pineal gland. To taint the heart of a peoples’ mind is to usurp & eviscerate their cognitive autonomy of the reality they’re able to manifest, perpetuating [neo] afro-subalternity.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7803bc_5a557be1ecad4d9c8d39941f674881b4~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1,h_1,q_90/7803bc_5a557be1ecad4d9c8d39941f674881b4~mv2.webp)

Aa.o3: Elements
Project type
Elemental Breakdown: piece by piece
Date
February 2024
Location
Lagos, Addis Ababa, Watts-LA, Jersey City
This is a breakdown of the elements that make up my flag capsule: Aa.o3©. I wanted to elucidate the repression of the esoteric majesty & mystery embedded in our African heritage & integral to the African Identity. The peace is ignorance. This piece is cognitive dissonance.

![Gnosis: Gnosis is defined as the knowledge of spiritual mysteries. Haile Selassie [& most of Africa] was sold a demonic false peace by the British tribe A.K.A. the R.A.C. (Royal African Company), under Queen Victoria; further exacerbated under the rule of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.
Holistic esoteric knowledge of the white-washed spiritual intumescence (which was the British tribe bestially deracinating, destroying & distending the heart & mind of the original people against itself) is the thickest layer of inculcative inoculation standing between the mind of the original man & the unification of this man's mind with the living bodies of his people.
Hence the symbolic triple layering of the word gnosis placed between the Afro-Face & the Afro-People lining the borders of my flag.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7803bc_b4e652e4fc424fe2919a8204384f4f2a~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_1,h_1,q_90/7803bc_b4e652e4fc424fe2919a8204384f4f2a~mv2.webp)

![Afro-People: The Afro-People holding hands along the borders of my flag represent the law of opposites & the law of sequencing. Simply put, if the net effect of the shared trauma of our subconscious hivemind as [continental & diasporic] Afro-Peoples have us where we are at today… meditate on how we can trigger a code of thought [& being] that can catalyze a synergetic collective consciousness.
What is the manifestation of that in the inner & outer minds of the Afro-Face? What were your memories about y(our) future before (y)our past became our “today”?
Together, the Afro-People bear the brunt of what our individual minds have seen, experienced, & been told. Imagine what our individual minds would see, experience & speak of if they bore the gnoses of the Afro-People, together. It is the yin and yang of them trying to make US a proof of their concept, forcing US to become an inviolable proof of [the “concept” of] US.
The Afro-People are a meditation on the “concept” of Family... adamantine, impregnable, eternal & sacrosanct.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7803bc_b6d8da75c888499aa6a665bdbb224439~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1,h_1,q_90/7803bc_b6d8da75c888499aa6a665bdbb224439~mv2.webp)
