Women: The Art, The Oversimplification
A black woman cannot be over simplified, which is a repeated tendency of society which has become so ingrained in our living and thinking that it has become hard to identify. Through social and mass media or even through social interaction. A woman that embodies a vast number of elements that make her holistic and perfect (yes I said it perfect) are often dumbed down by the ideals and culture of patriarchy. The daylight robbery and infringement of the essence of a woman.
No a woman is not simply just her body or her skin even though these aspects of a woman are highly desirable and aesthetically pleasing which links to the artistic notion in our form in essence that can lead one to realise that art simply cannot be simplified. The intellect behind a piece of creation is a true reflection of how a woman must be viewed. The lack of substance in the way a woman is deemed is frightening. Society has constructed a mentality of the consumption of the female image. In other word s more often than not we want to consume what appeals to the eye and not the mind and soul. The idealisation of the body for confinement for consumption. Place her in a box so that she can be displayed for consumption the contents don’t matter. Simplified. To body parts and close and hair, to be appealing enough for an existence to be acknowledged.
In all honest a woman is multifaceted that it is impossible to be confined or packaged for display because we’d ruin that packaging simply because, we embody way too much and these are the rejects of society conformity is the scary part of existence, confinement or restriction deteriorates the essence in the variance in the art of creation even on a human level
