A piece of art that invoked strong reactions in me was the art piece was Bound by Kehinde Wiley. Walking into the Counterparts exhibit I was met with this artwork, and as soon as I saw it I felt it was powerful. The gorgeous sculpting depicting 3 black women connected by their hair, adorned with flowers and birds, almost as if their hair is connected with nature itself. Its placement as an all black sculpture in a white room symbolizing how Black Women lifted each other up. Thats why the each of the women’s hair flow into each other’s. It has such a beautiful message the importance and beauty of the hair to black women and their culture.
