“Black girls are our most significant cultural producers, community connectors, and powerful organizers, but their contributions are rarely recognized or appreciated. At best, they remain invisible in our public discourse and monumental landscape. My large-scale photograph of eight-year-old Faa’Tina next to the reflective typography and acrylic mirrors is a powerful intervention that asks us all to see ourselves through the gaze of Black girlhood.”

— SCHEHERAZADE TILLET, Photographer & New Arts artist-in-residence

The formation of acrylic mirrors were designed to structurally connect the installation with the pedestal, installed flushed to the top of the building, bearing the infinity of space on its platform. 

The eye-view mirrored surfaces highlight the building’s architecture which along the reflective typography, intend to connect with the diversity and vibrancy of the people of Newark.
