What Am I?

A part of the series “Hybrid.”

Acrylic, gouache, found material, tape, collage, Guyanese and Brazilian packaging, pen, highlighter, colored pencil

I try on shoes that don’t fit me

Pants that pinch and squeeze in the wrong places

Shirts that don’t blend with the rest of me

Products that don’t suit my hair type

Labels that don’t fit my appearance

They belong to someone,

But that someone isn’t me.
