Here I see a portrait of a young woman, who appears to be dressed in clothing from the a past time. Her eyes are covered by a dark blue sash of paint that prevents the viewer from getting an accurate emotional reading from the subject's face. A similar mark of paint seems to be pulling from the subject's neck as if it were a scarf. Whether or not the two marks are meant to be inferred as the same, continuous form is not known. However this mark seems to objectify the subject, without her eyes, it is difficult to connect to her.

This sculpture represents a pregnant woman, whose body is displayed in two drastically different sections. One side of her displays her skin and how she would appear to the outer world, whereas the other side of her shows her internal musculature and her unborn fetus. This seems to represent both the inner and outer world for the pregnant female, allowing the viewer to see her inner workings, the secret life that she carries within. This sculpture gives the impression of a strong, stoic woman.

This series of photos depicts four african men and women who appear to be from the past. The photos catch your attention, as they are tinted in red, and framed circularly. On each photo there is a phrase that completes the sentence, "You became a scientific profile, and anthropological debate, a negroid type, and a photographic subject." This message seems to ask the view a question as to what they are looking at.

This photo is of a young woman dressed in a red patterned shirt, with her head turned away from the camera. There is an air of beauty surrounding her, yet she remains a mystery. Her face is hidden, so the viewer cannot fully know her. Because of this composition the viewer is further intrigued by her, wanting to know her story, and keep looking at the photo. The background is relatively unremarkable, which allows the viewer to focus fully on the subject. All eyes are on her.
