A Well-Built Lean-To / Un appentis bien construit by Asiya Wadud

2018

This project examines the sturdiness of empire and the insistence of mapping a colonial legacy onto a face. The mirror-image, Google-translated French is meant to be read through a mirror, so the reader must contend with the colony that others find in their face.
