About the Exhibit

Profile Noire is what happens when Black women are given the time and space to be vulnerable and transparent. When they are invited to hold space for themselves—not in spite of their fears and insecurities, but because of them. It is in this tension, in this raw truth, that they tap into their power.

This project is not just about portraiture. It is about reclaiming narrative. It is about centering the voices, expressions, and inner worlds of Black women—many of whom have never had the opportunity to be seen in this way before. Through this experience, I aim to shift the visual representation of Black women and offer an artistic sanctuary that invites self-reflection, dialogue, and joy.
