Progressive Essence is a metaphorical illusion that depicts the timeline of the black culture as a clock using roman numerals instead of traditional numbers. Roman numerals are used in order to correlate the union of two distinct cultures. Black people were at the center of the classic Roman culture- often embracing roles as soldiers, philosophers, and even emperors. They were deemed a necessity instead of a liability.
A variety of Flowers are hand-painted near almost every numeral. This serves as a purpose to depict how the progression of time allowed for beauty to encompass within the black culture. Beauty is still forthcoming alongside time.
Frederick Douglass’ quote ending in “…no struggle, no progress’, is a profound statement that indicates that where there is beauty, there was once pain.
