WWHB: A Narrative Collaboration With Liberty Worth

Dear Beautiful Black Baby, I can't tell you how many times I’ve drafted this letter. Every time I do, the world changes.

For the story of my family, while I don’t know much of the specifics, I do know that coming from a mixed Asian-American background that I wanted to depict this visually using the black, white, and black/white squares.

The most painful part for me, is that I feel as a black woman that I'm not allowed to process my own pain, but that I'm still expected to be okay.

When I think about what I hope for in the future, I can't yet create the exact visual, all I know is that this mirror reflecting incorrect truths based on my black skin should be shattered.

This is the matriarch - she represents the heart of our family - my grandmother, great grandmother, great great great...and so on.

The general shape of the image is that of a torii gate, a Shinto marker between the secular and sacred.

I specifically used the Japanese and African fabrics, separating them by type in the two lower shapes.

Here I intend to show the migration of my father from Alexandria, Egypt to Mexico City, Mexico and back to Egypt.

There’s a kind of home structure at the base of the piece, then what I think of as a fluttering, flying figure above.

I want to introduce the great artists I've been working on this project "Seasoned Right Here(s)".

"[In this space] we can really talk. Not hold back. Enjoy some freedom, truth, and care with a small cohort of other cool BIPOC"

Something has to change. In our current cultural climate, this is one thing that most people may agree on.

Whew ya'll. These first few meetings have been...well, beautiful.

From time-to-time, I'll share some music right here that my working community and I are feeling and vybing to. I'll update this post:)

What would it be like to live in a post racialized society? This is one of the primary questions Dea Studios Inbreak Residency asks.
