To sting like a bee

Specialisms:

Photography

"To Sting Like A Bee" is a photobook and exhibition that explores themes of Black beauty, Black Identity and overcoming Social Injustices. This series became my way of combating media that desensitizes our view of violence and negative perceptions of Black individuals. My Image "Liberty" is an exhibition piece that embodies the mission of this entire project. Overall, this series works to engage viewers aesthetically through its soft depictions of the Black body while also challenging viewers’ unconscious perceptions of what Black identity is and could be.
