Bantu is part of a series where I create hybrids, versions of family members, or people I am close with who inhabit the architectural spaces of my memories and dreams. The drawing depicts a moment in a space where beings float, existing between the places I've seen and my desire for belonging in them. Website | www.atishafordyce.com Instagram | @thedraftswoman
