Gary Lockwood, aka Freehand Profit, meticulously deconstructs rare, expensive, highly sought-after, and classic sneakers into elaborate masks. Inspired by hip-hop culture, he samples and remixes the raw materials into sacred objects that he imbues with protective properties against contemporary injustices and crises like civil unrest, war, and climate change. Acutely aware of the historical importance of masks across time, place, and peoples, Lockwood reflects on subcultural identities.
