My vintage series is an exploration into Colorism and Eurocentrism as seen through vintage beauty advertisements and images of celebrity sex symbols from the 1940's-1980's.

I observed through viewing many images interesting connections and dualities between Black and White women of the same era such as Black women bleaching their skin while White women are tanning theirs?
