Only Human Enough When We Win

This photograph, featuring the artist with braids and beads reminiscent of a young Serena Williams, highlights the racism and discrimination faced by Black women athletes and Black athletes in general. It critiques the unequal power dynamics between predominantly white sports fans, white-dominated sports institutions, and Black athletes, who are often celebrated only in victory but quickly criticized or marginalized in defeat. The artwork calls for the consistent humanization of these athletes, emphasizing their intrinsic worth beyond their athletic achievements.
