In my family, y'all is part of our vernacular. It's a word that combines the individual with the collective, with both parts being equally necessary for the whole. By using color-shifting material, it's my intention to represent the diversity of humanity and the vast spectrum of differences that make each of us unique. The reflectivity of this material shows the viewer as an individual within this shared spectrum. Through overlaying these materials, this sculpture duplicates your reflection, turning you into y'all, and joining you with the collective. I feel so grateful to have been given the opportunity to amplify and celebrate y'all as a permanent, public art monument for Atlanta, Georgia on the Steel Bridge. Y'ALL is made of stainless steel, dichroic acrylic, and a font that I designed. It took the help of so many people to bring this project to fruition.
