Lorna Simpson recontextualizes vintage advertising imagery from Ebony and Jet magazines to explore the complex intersections of Black identity and aesthetic representation. By layering archival photography with surreal geological and botanical elements, Simpson transforms traditional portraiture into a profound meditation on the language of hair and the cultural history of the Black body.
