In my most recent series, I present a subjective Black woman’s fairytale to process interlocking structures of oppression. Like a storybook made into a mural, the installations are made up of digitally manipulated ballpoint pen drawings that follow a Black woman in her nightdress and striped socks in a world made up of only her and her duplicates.
The work serves as an allegory for our contemporary condition, confronting questions of power, exploitation, and resistance.
