Black bodies - white abyss 7

This drawing captures the essence of the black figure, represented solely through a pair of legs. The feet seamlessly merge with the intricately depicted drapery that gracefully cascades over the figure's lap and extends across the lower part of the composition. Notably, the figure's right thigh subtly fades into a dark abyss, adding a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Within this composition, there appears to be a distinct polarization of spaces, where the contrasting realms of the abyss exist. While the white abyss dominates the scene, enveloping the black figure, there is an implied existence of a contrasting black abyss inhabited by white bodies. This juxtaposition of spaces raises questions about power dynamics, identity, and the interplay between different racial experiences.

The attention to detail in the drapery, combined with the evocative play of light and shadow, accentuates the visual impact of the composition. It invites contemplation on themes of visibility, representation, and the complex relationship between spaces and bodies. Through this drawing, the artist prompts viewers to delve deeper into the nuances of racial dynamics and the contrasting realms that shape our understanding of identity and existence.
