Looking North captures a moment suspended between departure and destiny. A family sits atop a wagon, their belongings gathered close, as they face the uncertain road ahead. The North represents possibility—better wages, safer streets, fuller lives—yet the journey carries the weight of what must be left behind.
 
The figures are bound together by shared resolve, their stillness echoing both hope and apprehension. This work speaks to the collective courage of Black families who migrated from the South in search of dignity, opportunity, and self-determination, even as systems of oppression followed them.
 
Looking North honors the quiet bravery of choosing movement over stagnation, and faith over fear, during a defining chapter of Black American life.
