Black bodies - white abyss 6

In this drawing, the black body figure is unveiled in its natural state, positioned on the floor with their back turned towards the viewer, concealing their face. The dominance of the white abyss in the composition presents a striking contrast as it competes with the black body for space. Despite this challenge, the focal point remains firmly on the black figure, commanding attention and significance.

A recurring theme throughout this series is the protection of the black body's identity. The artist's deliberate choice to cover the face suggests a desire to preserve the individuality and dignity of the black subject. By obscuring facial features, the focus shifts towards the body itself, highlighting its presence, resilience, and inherent worth.

The interplay between the black figure and the encroaching white abyss invites contemplation on power dynamics, spaces, and the struggle for visibility and recognition. This drawing invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of identity, representation, and the ongoing quest for empowerment and protection within marginalized communities.
