"Broken Cycles" by fukuface410 is a poignant and impactful artwork that vividly captures the emotional journey of a black woman navigating through the shattered cycles of relationships, friendships, family dynamics, work stress, and past traumas. The piece serves as a powerful reminder that amidst the chaos and clutter of life's challenges, there is always a path forward. The artist has skillfully incorporated real jewelry elements such as earring studs, bracelets, and a spiked necklace into the artwork, adding a tangible and personal touch to the piece. These elements not only enhance the visual impact of the artwork but also symbolize the weight and complexity of the issues the woman is facing. Moreover, the painting features glow-in-the-dark UV properties, further enhancing its striking visual appeal and creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. This unique feature adds an additional layer of depth to the artwork, inviting viewers to engage with it in different lighting conditions and experience it in a new way. "Broken Cycles" is a compelling and thought-provoking piece that beautifully encapsulates the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It serves as a powerful reflection on the challenges we all face in our lives and the enduring hope that even in the darkest moments, there is always a way forward.

He is also the mind behind DNT B A Dummy, a Baltimore-rooted lifestyle concept that flips local slang into a philosophy of self-awareness, critical thinking, and pushing past emotional autopilot. Through fashion, pop-ups, workshops, and collaborations with the Gallery About Nothing, the movement challenges the city’s narratives while honoring its scars. Whether he’s behind a mic breaking down a wrestling storyline, hosting a puff-and-paint therapy night, or passing out meals across West Baltimore, New Terry moves like a walking kaleidoscope of art, advocacy, and culture, proof that creativity can be a form of care and community is the real main event.
