Image: Destine Phillips, Me (2018), acrylic on wood. The piece features a silhouetted figure from the shoulders up, outlined in green and set against a red background with small blue triangles dispersed throughout. The figure is adorned with a crown and a beaded necklace. Inside the silhouette is hand-written text that begins “Sissyy Mah” with a heart next to it, and goes on to express love and gratitude for familial support. The text ends with “I believed I could so I did. My Destine is fulfilled.” Image courtesy of Destine Phillips.
