Positive affirmations and imagery. A myth. A stereotype. A self-perpetuating conditioning. Black love = "the impossible"
This piece was was influenced by the lack of images pertaining to the black man and woman in the British gaze.
​
Purpose? More images of positive relations between a black man and a black woman.

Black love is celebrating history, heritage and being proud of who you are in a world where we're constantly told we aren't worthy or are less than.
​
Blackness is associated with darkness, fear and evil whilst white connotations are associated with purity, angelic being.
​
Black love to me is being defiant.
Together through love we can prove the world wrong.
​
Our love is strong and true and our love is beautiful."
