Man on the Moon II: Stargazer
art exhibition and tour 2025
I’ve always lived among the stars. As a neurodivergent dreamer, I’ve used imagination as escape—and now, as an artist, as liberation. Through this collection, I channel daydreams and nightmares into digital odysseys, translating emotion into form and canvas into cosmos.
Man on the Moon II: Stargazer is a continuation of my exploration of Black identity through the lens of Afrofuturism. At its root, Afrofuturism is the unfettered belief that there are Black people in the future, existing in every form of who we are. Each piece invites you to navigate wonder, grief, joy, and possibility mapped across constellations of lived and inherited memory.
This exhibition is both a mirror and a launchpad. A space for reflection, transformation, and healing. A reminder that digital art is fine art. That our stories deserve the stars.

On the second leg of our Man on the Moon Tour in 2025, we took it up to Chicago during Black Yacht Weekend and turned our art show into an art party. Take a look at how art truly brings people together to enjoy this thing called life.

The Mourning Star: Dogwoods in the Sun
From grief we guide. From rebirth, we rise. The Mourning Star marks the third stop of the Man on the Moon II: Stargazer tour—a quiet yet profound return to Earth. Venus, the morning star, becomes our symbol of resilience: a guiding light after darkness. We left to grieve. We return to live.
Charlotte is a celestial homecoming. A love letter to those we’ve lost—and to the strength it takes to keep going. As the moon sets and the sun crests the horizon, we honor the cycle of loss, healing, and light.
This show is dedicated to my grandmother, “Mother” Audrey Moore—and to everyone who carries loss, held love, and chose to rise again.

Third Ward Rapture: Welcome to the Screwship Sanctuary
A celestial church meets a slab car—where DJ Screw collides with Southern gospel. Welcome aboard the Screwship, where aliens ride candy-painted slabs and the constellations rock diamond grills. Let the rhythm take you home. A cosmic celebration of the Black South, reimagined through Afrofuturism and Houston’s rich cultural legacy.
This installation is inspired by Houston’s chopped and screwed sound, lowrider culture, and Black Southern spirituality. The final show takes us beyond earth to the universe we are from as we prepare for our next journey.
Come join us to close out the second tour from DorianTroy. and celebrate the impact art has on us all.
