Matt Jones, New York

Description

This split-panel image presents two distinct photographic portraits directed by Matt Jones. The left panel shows an individual with heavy, theatrical drag makeup, exaggerated drawn-on lips, long false eyelashes, and a bright pink spiky mohawk hairstyle against an overcast sky. The right panel features a young Black girl wearing braided hair adorned with pink and white beads, dressed in a multicolored patterned top against a clear sky background. The composition juxtaposes bold performance artistry with a candid outdoor portrait.
