The word constellation is defined as a “group or configuration of ideas, feelings, characteristics, objects, etc., that are related in some way.” These silkscreen prints represent related ideas and examples of accounts of invisibility, hypervisibility, devaluation, and triumph experienced as a Black woman in America. Using the concept of the Language of Invisibility on Display artwork as their foundation, these prints also present black text on a black background, while strategically rendering particular words in white to telegraph subliminal yet compelling messages when read over multiple panels.
