Bride of Woman is an ode to the philosophy of “Womanism” coined by world renown writer, Alice Walker. Mikai employs salt printing as her primary means to create an installation that critiques the classism and racism inherent in 1st & 2nd wave Feminism and contemporary society. The photo triptych speaks to the three traumas that the black female body experiences; Misappropriation, Partialism, and Commodification.
Bride of Woman is a ceremony for healing and welcoming of all women who wish to walk forward together as one.
