In my contribution of a series of three images to the She the People exhibit, I use the monoprint process to explore the delicate boundary between being seen and being forgotten. Inherently, a monoprint is a singular, unrepeatable ghost of an image—a fitting metaphor for the unique yet often marginalized lives of women throughout our nation’s history, particularly women of color in our national narrative. The fading image of the woman in resplendent headdress (In Full Recognition No. 1) represents the systemic invisibility and erasure that have long sought to diminish her power. As the image recedes over the second and third prints in the series (In Full Recognition No. 2 and No. 3), it also demands a more intentional gaze and prompts feelings of grasping to fully memorialize her before she is gone. What remains when a collective voice is suppressed? What is reclaimed when we center Her-story? This piece does not simply mourn collective loss for what could have been but aims to transform that loss into an empowered future where every woman is fully recognized and heard.
