ARTIST STATEMENT
This collection of work is an exploration of the power of softness, both
in a literal and figurative sense. Through a combination of photo illustrations and yarn and pom pom installation pieces, We aim to create an environment that celebrates the beauty and strength of softness, particularly as it is embodied by Black people.
In this work, We challenge conventional notions of what strength and power look like, and instead focus on the ways in which softness can be a powerful force for change. We use soft materials such as yarn and pom poms to create tactile and sensory installations that invite the viewer to engage with their surroundings and connect with their emotions.
Our photo illustrations capture stoically posed Black people in soft spaces, showing how softness and strength coexist. Through the use of natural lighting and strong poses, and soft florals we create a space that feels regal and nurturing, inviting the viewer to connect with their own emotional experiences.
Our yarn and pom pom TV installations are designed to be immersive, with soft textures and playful colors creating a whimsical and inviting atmosphere. Through these TV installations, We hope to create a space where viewers can let go of their guard and allow themselves to be vul- nerable, even if just for a moment.
Through this collection of work, We celebrate the power of softness, particularly as it is embodied by Black people. We challenge the notion of who embodies that strength and power and invite viewers to see the beauty and strength that can be found in vulnerability and emotional openness.
