An ode is normally a short lyric poem/song that shows appreciation to an individual, an idea or an event. This moment I created a visual ode inspired by the iconic Billie Holiday. During my time at the Sagamore Baltimore partnering with Visit Baltimore, my research about her lyrical rendition of the poem "Strange Fruit"written by Abel Meeropol. This moment in history told the unsung truth in the 1930s towards the horror of lynching in the American South.
