My body is not a political playground. Its not a place for legislation. Its mine and its my future. -Samirah Raheem



This pieces title was inspired by Zora Neale Hurstons Their Eyes Were Watching God. 

Ive been into incorporating bodies in my work a lot more than usual lately, both by showing personal relationships with them along with societal expectations of them. This particular piece is near and dear to me because it feels like Im holding up a mirror. What do you see?
