Melanin&Milk

$1,000.00

Growing up, I spent hours staring at cereal boxes—bright colors, bold type, entire worlds contained in cardboard. Melanin & Milk reimagines that childhood fascination through an adult lens.

Set within a cereal bowl inspired by Reese’s packaging, Black and white women swim in milk—a symbol of purity, dilution, and contrast.

Blending pop aesthetics with cultural critique, the piece transforms nostalgic packaging into a symbolic scene that questions race, consumption, and representation, exploring how identity is simultaneously celebrated and commodified in contemporary culture.


Details: 36 X 48”, Acrylic on canvas, PLA, 2026.
