- The Jerome Project (2015) by Titus Kaphar combines the portraits of three young
black men
whose tragic deaths prompted a national conversation around racial profiling, policing, and gun violence: Trayvon Martin (died February 26, 2012), Michael Brown (died August 9, 2014), and Tamir Rice (died November 22, 2014), which
outlines the subjects» faces in white chalk on Asphalt - coated roofing paper.
To redirect the conversation she began a series of drawings, dubbed The Treatment, of famous white men —
whose identities she prefers not to reveal — with
black faces and simple pencil
outlines for their hair and clothes that transform these iconic visages into anonymous mugs.
