"The embodiment of a negro" - painting

The embodiment of a negro, 2023
acrylic on canvas
24" x 20" x 0.75"

This painting is about experiencing overt racism-simultaneously feeling invisible and heightened in spaces that regard my presence and body as innately violent and threatening simply because of the color of my skin. It’s the feeling of presence- that is the best I could come up with without having to write an autobiography.
