Head Spaces

"Head Spaces" By Je’Jae Cleo mizrahi

Novice & Emerging Artist (18+)

Artist's Statement: Thinking of the external reflection of self in a portraiture class with fountain house gallery, I examine the various moods, expressions, and state of mind that one finds themselves in. In a society that invalidates our non conforming bodies, our suppressed feelings and speaking up on stigmatized topics that have traumatized us since childhood on various forms of abuse, and setting ourselves free, and affirming our truths.
