Breathe Life 3
“ The need to place positive messaging in the community is just more than standing on a soapbox...when I [first] did “Breathe Life”, it was just a calling. It came from me wanting to talk to people and suggesting, instead of downplaying something, how about you breathe life into it?
— Rob Gibbs”

““Breathe Life 3” is the third incarnation in Gibbs’ “Breathe Life” series and, like his other works, highlights black children. A girl, sporting two cosmic Afro puffs, sits jubilantly on the shoulders of an older boy. Both have wide and infectious smiles. Together, their hands read “Breathe Life” in American Sign Language. The children aren’t based on actual people, but instead represent the vast possibilities of youth and innocence..
