The artist is telling a multi-dimensional story. While some may think at first glance that her work is simply celebrating the Black figure and community, she begs to differ: “Not everything calls for a celebration. If everything did then that would mean nothing would. So I try to leave space for unrequited feelings and disappointment. I think people don’t value truth as much as they should. Truth is the only thing people should ask for … truth is liberation.
