Juju Cruz
Outstretched, 2015
18" x 24" newspaper drawing using pencil, sharpie, and oil pastel
This image is a celebration of blackness, beauty, and possibility. Her arms are outstretched, claiming her own space, a pose that often women, and especially women of color, often feel they cannot embrace in certain environments. In this piece, this model is unashamed, unabashed, and unapologetic in the space and energy she exudes.
