Fragments of Her
Fragments of Her is my way of piecing together the lives, struggles, and strength of Black women using torn paper, cardboard, tape, and photographs. These materials embody rupture and repair, things broken, distorted, and then held together again. That process mirrors the realities so many women endure.
