But key to both the vision and the version of that vision is the intersection of what is remembered (intention) and what is reality. Power explains: “This version of my vision brings me back to Miami for the first time in nearly a decade, to revisit the genesis of my creative inspiration. I had the great privilege to live in Miami during a unique period of cultural evolution, which provided me with my earliest understanding of intention versus reality.” This can be explained in some of his earlier practices of destroying to create anew - whether that destruction grows out of posters he tears down to transfer into and onto new works, to releasing works to nature to wash away the superficial, to him then tirelessly working with the elements to unearth hidden value.

This exhibition captivates not only through the kaleidoscope of works on the walls but through the profound conversation created by older pieces standing confidently beside new, mapping both Power's artistic growth and his deep commitment to understanding and sharing lived experience. Though away from the city for many years, and now working in Brooklyn, NY, Power has held onto the palette that is Miami, adding its unique light to his northward life.

This exhibition becomes a testimony to his remembrance and how though away, the city of Miami has stood firm in his creative roots. During a month-long residency at The CAMP Gallery, Power will further this exchange through a dynamic program of film screenings, artist talks, poetry events, panel discussions, and more, all accentuating the vibrant creative intersection reminiscent of Miami’s 1980s spirit. Alongside mixed-media works, sculpture, and video, the exhibition features unique print collaborations with Keigo Prints, Inc., and special editions of offset prints and zines, each layer enriching a dialogue with the city that continues to inspire him. film and video screenings, artist led tours, panel discussions, music and poetry evenings, and other activations to “exchange with the city that continues to inspire [his] work.”
