This ongoing series is the tangible state of my own growth and understand of my privilege, fragility, and biases. Through various courses of research including daily discussion I seek to understand the topic of white fragility and how its expansive reach is plaguing modern society. To do this I use a series of performances, photography and installation speaking to white people urging them to question themselves and open up to new understandings of the word which often times do not align with the ways they were raised or past culture they have observed.
