af+ personal essay

gender identity

This is a collage work of art. The base is a shiny, golden background of slightly crumpled looking paper. On top is a collage of flowers and green growing plants. From these plants emerge the figures of three Black women. One is in black and white and is wearing a white, fluffy cotillion gown, another has braided hair and is looking away and is in color, a third is smaller, and is glancing downward contemplatively. Written in the background are the words: "she runs her gender, not the other way around" with an eye underneath those words
