In this photographic series, I am pushing a piece of glass against my mouth as I say a quote by Zora Neale Hurston. Each photograph captures my enunciation of each syllable in the sentence, "I am not tragically colored." Underneath each framed photograph is a 5" x 8" piece of plexiglass that has the corresponding syllable etched into it.
