“IGGIN”

‘Iggin’ is more than just ignoring—it’s an intentional act of defiance. A refusal to internalize the projections of white supremacy. A resistance to the narratives meant to suppress. This piece embodies the layered experience of Black existence—vibrant, complex, unyielding.

The distorted features represent the way identity is often misinterpreted or reshaped by external forces, while the bold strokes and chaotic lines reflect the noise that seeks to distract. The crowned head remains still, unbothered, reclaiming its power. This is about preserving selfhood in a world that tries to dismantle it. To see, yet not be swayed. To know, yet not be consumed.

To ‘igg’ is to reclaim sovereignty over one’s mind, body, and spirit. This is resistance through presence. This is Black artistry speaking louder than oppression ever could.
