As of the Los Angeles Times writes in her article , 鈥淚n these works, imperial gardens are turned on their side and embedded alongside photos of wetlands in Nigeria and a grove of palms in Ghana. Photographs of European statues are turned upside down and shown alongside a ghostly Nigerian Eyo. Ships 鈥 those great conveyers of exploration and the slave trade 鈥 intrude on the landscape. These are worlds turned upside down, then spun right side up again.鈥 The show also features Gray鈥檚 largest piece to date (at 34 feet long!), entitled (2021). As Miranda writes, 鈥淭he work is history writ in visceral, photographic form: the landscapes that fed the slave trade are juxtaposed with the people who amassed wealth from it, along with the ghosts that remain.鈥

Congratulations, Professor Gray, on the amazing and beautiful work!
