The Picture of Breath is an expression of Eugene Mack Jr.'s work that embodies both the bruising weight of bondage and the mind-wielding tapestry of soul-stirring comfort. Mack draws his inspiration from his own lived experiences along with others' subtle, often difficult truths. These lived realities summon the call of his artistry with unflinching honesty and grace. The Picture of Breath is the first of many works where he discovers through trials and tribulations that there may be enough room to hope for those who struggle in the stand for our humanity.
