While each one represents a single life and death, the photographs speak to the greater epidemics of institutionalized racism and violence against the black community, and black men in particular. These social divisions and a startling lack of empathy are compounded by the perpetuation of denigrating and dangerous stereotypes. Graves is able to evoke a person—a life—by the absence of the figure, and creates a powerful, disquieting statement: this is a reality not only measured in numbers or statistics but in individual lives. “ + Samantha Marlow\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNotWrong is the new oversized bi-yearly publication by Founder, Kris Graves and Creative Director, Luke Atwood Abiol.
