The Personal is Political, 2024
$1,000
This sculpture of a Black woman stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and agency in the political landscape. Historically marginalized, Black women were among the last to gain the right to vote, and their voices continue to be vital in shaping democracy. During election cycles, we are often viewed merely as a demographic to sway votes, yet our lived experiences and perspectives are crucial to creating policies that reflect the needs of all citizens. This artwork serves as a reminder that the personal is political, urging us to recognize and create space for the voices of those who have long fought for their place at the table.
