On Mission

On Mission

We were driving through a part of the city where contradiction is constant, a church on one corner, a strip club on the next. I didn’t stage anything, I just watched my brother drive with purpose through it all. This image isn’t about destination, it’s about presence. About moving with conviction through complexity. About being on mission, even when the surroundings and people don’t affirm it. That day, the car became the sanctuary.

Brian M. Bailey

Brian Bailey is a Cleveland-based multidisciplinary artist working in photography, painting, and poetry. His work explores themes of identity, spiritual tension, and visual testimony, often rooted in Black urban life. A toolmaker by trade and visual storyteller by conviction, Brian draws from street life, scripture, and memory to create emotionally charged images that blend documentary realism with personal symbolism. His current work in film photography focuses on freedom, faith, and the contradiction of everyday environments.
