This piece depicts an innovative perception of viewing sexual expression. I chose to create an eclectic, strange sex room where constructions in today's society are seen as shameful and crude. However, in actuality, it is an innate and basic unit of mortal necessity that is most importantly a very beautiful thing.

"Lewd Behavior" 

A life-sized nude self-portrait. I added interactive pieces such as the leaves to signify that the audience has power over me in how I present myself to the world. This piece represents societal constructs on women and the patriarchal powers that reign in control of feminine bodies.

"Untitled"

This piece highlights the juxtaposition of belonging in the same space yet being so different, that we might as well be from different worlds. The anachronisms in this painting highlight societal injustices and the generational anguish that lies in the psyche of African Americans today.

"Land Of The Estranged"

This piece serves as an intimate sanctuary beyond earth where Black femininity can flourish devoid of societal interruptions. The blue moon and the catacomb imagery connect to the terrestrial earth and further allude to the quantum theory of parallel universes. This is a self-portrait of myself, with my present self, my infant self, my ancestral self, and the middle figure being the self that exists beyond the containments of the sky.
