This image was posted on facebook in the facebook group Natural Hair. Although it didn’t have as many comments in the group, it seems like it’s going viral on instagram. Your thoughts and what do you think about the the artist’s explanation?

*NEW ART* “American Thought” by Watson Mere. This image is more so of a symbolization of 2 cultures that have lived on the same land for almost 400yrs but for the most part don’t comprehend or understand each other. The 2 differing figures lay in the same bed with the bed itself being a representation of the United States and both reading and resting their minds on 2 separate ideologies. One being a white supremacist mind set bent on maintaining their perceived rule over the land through oppression and the other a Pro-Black frame of thought focused on becoming conscious of one’s self, establishing a lost and dormant African culture and resisting the oppression coming from the contrasting culture.

GOING NATURAL

Inspired by our unapologetic roots and driven by the fact that Black people are the only people who don’t have the human right to wear their God-given tresses natural, I use my camera to shoot for justice, aiming for equal hair rights, one headshot at the time.
