Brown Girl #1 (Limited Edition Print of 50)

Brown Girl #1 is a self-referential piece depicting the artist in contemplation, yet the work is also representative of the collective experience of young women as they reflect upon their identity. In a world where the beauty standards still lean towards Eurocentric ideals, coming of age means learning to value oneself both internally and externally. This work was created at a pivotal point in Kalkat’s life and is a manifestation of self-discovery. Â
