From the artist: "One out of 3 women in the world have been or will be victims/survivors of sexual assault. It’s an experience I never want for my daughter. But there are challenges out there that she must face every day. The media is constantly presenting her with images that tell her that her only value is her body. Recently...the two of us visited the Slave Museum in Charleston. While there, we noticed a panel that explained how enslaved persons were rated for value....And we wondered at how current media and entertainers are, perhaps unknowingly, mimicking the behaviors and philosophies of the past -- from Sarratjie Baartman, known as the Hottentot Venus, who was carted about Europe in the early 1800’s and exploited as a curiosity, to the images of Kim Kardashian and Nikki Minaj that mirror Baartman’s objectification; from the slavers who felt entitled to use and abuse the bodies of enslaved women, to the rappers who celebrate the same. We must educate, encourage, and empower ourselves to rise above these challenges." Daise used the image of her own daughter to "radiates power, strength and self-determination." The painting also contains "adinkra symbols, tying the familiar sacred imagery of stained glass windows to our African ancestry." 22" x 56" mixed media on panel.
