Low key studio image of mother and daughter in make up of scars and monkey face depicting the abuse of black women over the years
This series of low key images was taken as part of a final portfolio in a stage makeup degree. The mother and sister of the student wore makeup and rags to conceptually depict the abuse of black women over the years. The daughter wore a monkey mouth prosthetic, adopting a submissive demeanor. Both have scar tissues applied to their bodies. The mother had a “shaven head” look.
