This painted aluminum multiple by Derrick Adams comprises a removable red-white-and-blue ice pop emerging at an angle from a square acrylic base, like a rocket ready to launch.

The imagery of this refreshing summer treat resonates with Adams’s consistent interest in celebrating and expanding the dialogue around contemporary Black life and culture through an iconography of joy, leisure, and the pursuit of happiness.
