 About the work.
The image was a collaboration with myself, Guille Ibanez (the photographer) and Joanna Howard (a creator and author) and me, a poet and Visual Artist. The model is myself. We looked at subverting the story of Rapunzel and the Western bridal industry. Traditional Fairy Tales and Western bridal magazines and Bollywood films often have fair skinned actors, characters and models. We are saying yes to dark-brown skin, size 14, mixing henna with a white wedding dresses and brown Disney princesses. We are from three different cultures and found a common artistic vision.
