VISAGES FAMILIERS, 3 of 68

VISAGES FAMILIERS (2020-ongoing) is a series of wire faces made of recycled brass hangers. Depicting familiar faces of people I love, people I miss and people I have yet to meet. The purpose of this work is the highlight the beautiful features of Black people, through line art. This work seeks to combat the monolithic rhetoric and historically oppressive depiction of Black bodies and Black representation. To redirect audiences to the unique, varied, intimate and lovely form of Black bodies.
