To simply present images of ourselves and experiences.
Ari Brielle is a recent graduate from the University of North Texas whose work explores the nuances and inequities of identity.
In her most recent series, Brielle depicts women of color proudly donning their natural hair set against a candy-colored backdrop.
Evoking a bubblegum girlishness, the portraits question historical and popular binary representations of black female bodies.
