This is about African Americans natural black Roots being Stripped away from the american way of life. I wanted her transition to look like it was rough and unpleasant with the rough and unfinished blending. Adding texture to her conversion and face with the scratches. To be pushed elsewhere by those who lack the desire to assimilate this nation's history. It is one of the most significant cultures that have existed throughout history. Whether it's black on brands being pushed out of grocery stores or the forthcoming abolishing of dedicated months forthcoming. The possibility of upcoming children in school not being able to learn about their roots and who they are as a people. I wanted her transition to look like it was rough and unpleasant with the rough and unfinished blending. I want to show an abidance of emotions when viewing my art. I didn't really imagine my piece to turn out a curtain way. I just wanted it too look somewhat satisfying to me and everyone who views it.
