Shannon Murray, Black background, Acrylic on canvas, 16” x 24”

First in the series is black background, also called "Heavy,” based on the song by a popular female dancehall artist. “Heavy” takes its inspiration from the type of poses and images that were seen as most desirable by those on social media. The thick ass or heavy ass is what they choose to post and those who do not have this desire it. But at the same time, they want to be respected or seen as descent.
