Poster - Layer: Self-Preservation No.1
This artwork represents my abstract interpretation of how Black people regulate their emotions when coping with racism. Each coping strategy, such as Black joy, religion, activism, community, family, and mental health counseling, serves as a means of self-protection, helping us maintain mental and emotional empowerment and psychological well-being. We use these strategies to preserve ourselves in a systemically anti-Black, racist society. While each method is distinct, they are united by the drive for self-preservation, which is central to our resilience.
In this work, plastic bubble wrap covers the face of the Black individual. It is a metaphor for buffering against racism. The bubble wrap acts as a shield against the negative impact of racist events. It also conveys the sense of alienation we sometimes experience. Sadly, we must still strategize on how to navigate a society that often fails to value our humanity.
