“The architectural construct of black exoticness."

from collection of photos byRa Intwy Damaleya


Ra Intwy Damaleya made an astute observation. Was she saying, or implying a Black woman’s body, her behind, her hips, and Womb in its fullness, and readiness is an architectural construct?

Studying the full body of this model from behind with a steady gaze into the arithmetic, and the geometry of form there is motion, the stillness within motion, the relationships between colors, hue, tone, and the way; just beyond touch her dark skin and African body dances without moving, moves, and shapes itself from an inaccessible place accessible to a chosen hand into Sacred Form... © Gregory E.

So moved I cannot speak the words to the emotion that jolted through making me aware of who she is within me. Hers is a collective beauty each feels they are a part of, but not fully, nor completely within her awareness of place, and who she may very well be. This African woman's beauty steadies the mind to absorb greater things in Life we need to live deeply and closer to completeness. All this within her I heard, and felt touching me inside. © Gregory E. Woods 11.1.12
