Rebirth ft. @bin2ty@gripgodd
This artwork aims to explore ideas of rebirth in a renaissance fashion as Bintou wears a hand made piece that she crafted from plastic bags that the hair she works with comes in showcasing sustainable fashion and spreading awareness of plastic pollution in the ocean. In some photos we see her held back by this plastic which can be a parallel to so many things in our lives that can be hindering us from arriving to the surface as our new reborn selves. Take from this art what you would like. I am very thankful to the team that helped bring this vision to life! Also another big thank you to Louie who is the gaffer on set of the show I work on who gave me lighting tips and allowed me to practice my lighting with his equipment!

My entire life has revolved around shrinking myself to make the world around me comfortable. I created this piece as a physical manifestation of reclaiming that space.
There is so much space in the world. If anyone feels like you’re in the way, make them nggas move around.

I paid money trained for 8 weeks and drove 2hours to go run around in mud with other people who also like running around in mud and I will be back next year 💚
I had the best birthday ever! I can’t believe I was the only person in the world born on the first day of Gemini season I’m really the original Gemini 🥳🥳I’m so grateful to be surrounded by people who love me in all my unhinged chaotic glory. I only plan on getting cooler, crazier & hotter. Happy Gem seasonnn to all my twinnss the world would really suck without us, especially me💚💚
