The artist explores the idea that despite the adversity and negativity surrounding the Black experience, there is an inherent strength and potential for growth that comes from embracing one's true self. Through the metaphor of soil and fertilization, the artwork suggests that by nurturing and embracing one's identity and heritage, individuals can find the strength to rise above challenges and cultivate personal growth. It encourages viewers to reflect on the duality of the Black experience, acknowledging both the struggles and the immense potential for empowerment and transformation that lie within. "Dirty Soil 60 x 48" is a thought-provoking piece that invites contemplation on themes of identity, resilience, and personal growth, while celebrating the strength and beauty that can emerge from embracing one's true self.

About the artist
Raised on ring psychology, street poetry, and the pressure points of the city, New Terry doesn’t just talk about struggle, he engineers spaces to decompress from it. As the founder of the Black Market Social Club, he curates 420-friendly cooking sessions, therapeutic art fellowships, and neighborhood service runs that put food, warmth, and dignity directly into people’s hands. The program is less about fixing people and more about giving them room to breathe, rebuild, and belong. 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.
