UNRULY Installation at The Met Staff Art Show

UNRULY (Our bodies will not save you) appears as part of the Met Staff Art Show, a group exhibition featuring works by museum staff and volunteers. This mixed-media installation serves as an altar to the Black female body, creating a sacred space for witness and healing. Through natural elements and sacred objects, this work explores themes of ancestral memory, medical trauma, chronic illness, and embodied divinity. The installation invites contemplation without consumption.
