It’s extra of a cycle, a spiral—it’s Hooke’s legislation,” mentioned KeiyaA. “With this work, I goal to interrogate and embrace anger and battle, disappointment and dissatisfaction, about not being docile and about rejecting mammyism and conventional expectations of fats black brown and darkish skinned ladies in our communities. I talk about need + longing, about analyzing maladaptive tendencies, battle avoidance – the everlasting relationship with the self.”
