Now That I’m a River: Integration. 2023
Now That I’m a River draws inspiration from the Orisha, kundalini mythology, Jungian dream theory and Trinidad’s folklore character Mama D’leau, a protector and healer of the river who is often depicted as part woman, part snake. This interdisciplinary installation is centred around a snake that sheds its skin and becomes a river: a metaphor for the cyclical process of celebrating femme sexuality during Carnival and violently suppressing it throughout the year.
Photography in collaboration with Olajuwon Scott.
