"Shai"
Shai is the timid one. She doesn’t say much. She only speaks when spoken to and even then she usually says what she thinks people want to hear. Strangers always talk about how pretty she is so she’s learned to say, “thank you,” with an endearing smile. She does that a lot. She speaks well, stands up straight, and always sits knee to knee. Shai is such a good girl.
"Shai." is a painting about boundaries, consent, and vulnerability as it relates to the physical bodies of black girls. #youngqueen
