“Mojo Rising” (2017) is a towering, altar-like assemblage overflowing with symbols, faces, and fragments of personal mythology. The piece reads like a ritual landscape — part carnival, part cathedral — where religious iconography collides with pop culture, memory, and protective talismans.

At its center, layered portraits, peacock feathers, and crowned figures rise through a cascade of eyes, animals, bones (including an actual pair of deer antlers), and sacred text. Glass beads encrust the border like jewels while flashes of electric green and blue punctuate the dense visual field. The surface feels alive with movement and symbolism, creating a world that is both chaotic and carefully orchestrated.

The spirit of the piece echoes the larger-than-life mythology of rock and roll, recalling the poetic intensity of Jim Morrison and the mythic energy of The Doors. Sealed beneath a glossy surface, the work feels preserved like an artifact pulled from a strange cathedral of memory, sound, and imagination.
