“Vantage Point” considers a young Black girl's perspective: how does she form ideas about who she is? How do the labels and roles placed upon her affect how she sees the world, and how does she transcend and look beyond this? This piece features archival images made by my grandfather. There are references to the domestic (pressure cooker pot), as well as social & community rituals (the two figures in the center wearing dresses, gloves and corsages - this is based on an archival photo likely taken at a school dance). Included in this piece is a portion of a hand-illustrated Mende or Sherbro mask, alluding to the many initiations and rites of passage we encounter in the transition from girlhood to womanhood.
