Pensive Naiveté

Pieces of me... ** Nothing in particular, just sharing good music, quotes, thoughts...you know the usual. ** Artlessly simple yet profound thinking.

I believe in Murphy’s Law: Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. But I also believe in anomalies: that everything that can go wrong will get better.

Access to safe abortion is a woman’s right.

And abortion is a decision to be made between a woman, her doctor, her family, and her god.

...Not a majority white male cohort of politicians with a false sense of morality.

And your judgement?

It matters not.

Black Bodies Painted and Photographed Like the Cosmos by Mikael Owunna

Mikael Chukwuma Owunna, a queer Nigerian-Swedish artist raised in Pittsburgh, has spent the past two and a half years photographing Black men and women for a series titled Infinite Essence. Hand-painted using fluorescent paints and photographed in complete darkness, Owunna’s subjects are illuminated by a flash outfitted with a UV filter, which turns their nude bodies into glowing celestial figures.

Owunna tells Colossal that the series was his response to the frequent images and videos of Black people being killed by those sworn to protect them: the police. The photographer’s friends, family members, dancers, and one person he connected with on Instagram serve as models for the project, which is named after an idea from his Igbo heritage. “All of our individual spirits are just one ray of the infinite essence of the sun,” Owunna explains. “By transcending the visible spectrum, I work to illuminate a world beyond our visible structures of racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia where the black body is free.”

by sure use and fastidious pace did that fire gain traction to have its light throw shadows farther than doubt’s reach. this ride ahead wont be without a fair portion of great difficulty but the call to action will not be ignored.

everybody says that it will ruin my eyes to stare into the sun but to them i say that i cannot look away
