"This is Her." There is strength, honesty, and vulnerability frozen in this image. Depending on your feelings on today's current events, your perception of this work will change.
Today, I am feeling strong, black and nurturing, and that is exactly what I see. From the smooth ridge made of muscle, her soft charcoal skin, to her stretch-marked tit; everything I see is our kind of beautiful.
Or, on a day where Jeronimo Yanez is acquitted for the murder of Philando Castile, I see grief, frustration, and anger. From the slumped heavy head, her BLACK skin, to the flex of her bicep; all I see is our kind of pain.
I will celebrate the former and grieve the latter.
Our perspectives are what connects to build.
