In Dreams (Langston Hughes), (2024), Patrick Martinez brings Langston Hughes’s enduring words into sharp, luminous focus. The phrase “Hold fast to dreams” glows in vibrant color, framed like a storefront sign that calls out to passersby. What was once read on the page becomes something seen, felt, and carried into public space.

Martinez’s practice often draws from the language of the street, transforming text into markers of memory, resilience, and collective experience. Here, poetry becomes both signal and sanctuary.

This hand-signed print is available exclusively at The Shop at The Broad in an edition of 100, offering a meaningful way to bring this powerful message into your own space.
