My piece for @movmntcollective’s NXT Gen showcase.
It felt so good to create a piece about being angry because there is so much to be angry about!!!
Thank you to my INCREDIBLE cast for committing your time and energy to this piece. It would not have come to life without you.
Thank you to @leah.totten for believing in me and pushing me to believe in myself.

Restraint
I created this visual as an intro to my piece for @movmntcollective’s NXT Gen showcase.
A reminder that rage is an act of defiance in a patriarchal society.
