Charcoal & Pastel on Paper
12 x 16 inches unframed
“Completed in charcoal and pastel, the piece depicts the half truth people of colour tend to function with in society. We should feel comfortable showing and embracing our ancestral ties, our culture. On the contrary, we often feel hesitant because of how society reacts and the challenges that arise as a result. Thus, it can often feel like you need to wear a mask.”
