The Bluest Eye: Self-Portrait with Blue Eyes
2020
Gesso, gouache and gold leaf on construction paper
22” x 26” Hexagon
 
 

This is an homage to Toni Morrison’s novel. As Covid19 forced me into social Isolation it inspired a new self-examination, reacquainting and rediscovering myself. Covid-19 also revealed to the whole humanity the extent and the depth of social inequality. In those moments I identified with Pecola Breedlove in Morrison’s novel, The Bluest Eye.
