Uhambo lomntu lokuphilisa lunokubakhokelela kude nomntu ababengaphambi. Iingcamango zokutshintsha kokutshintsha kwaye ziguqula umntu, Ukuphalaza ulusu oludala kwimilambo. "Ukuphiliswa akuyonto. Awuyi kuhamba kwindawo ye-B, Ukusuka ekuthandeni kwaphela. Yinguqu. Awusoze ube ngumntu ofanayo. Yinxalenye yakho, Kodwa akufuneki ukuba ube njalo. Uyakhula kwaye ube yinto enzima ngakumbi, yazisiwe, kwaye, ngethemba, umntu onamandla. Ndinqwenela ukuba umhlaba sibuphilanga kwakungafuni ukuba abantu bafundise indlela yokufuna ukuze baphile." La mazwi anamandla kumculi uGisela McDAniel athetha nomntu owamkela ilahleko ngelixa ugxile ekuzifuneni.

Imbono yeStudio ye-Artist ibonisa iibhloko zepeyinti emnyama nemhlophe ehambisa umhlaba onamafutha kunye nee-canvasses zesayizi eyahlukeneyo, nokuba kukuxhonywa okanye ukugcwala kudonga olumhlophe. Njengomntu ohamba kufutshane nepeyinti ukuze ahlolisise iitoni zawo zomhlaba kunye nembali yobuqu, Ufumana abantu abazichonga njengabafazi, I-non-binary, indabuko, ezahlukeneyo, Abafuduki. Baguqa okanye balale phantsi kwikhaphethi okanye kumgangatho wendlu, Imvelaphi ye-jungle-ngokungathi i-quayong ngaphezulu kwemizimba yabo. I-Diasporic, I-Irheebhu ye-chamor yase-chamor esekwe kwiDetroit, I-MCDiniel Ukuziqhelanisa kwi-ART kuPuqelelo loPhando lweNtlalontle, I-OTOR PROOFIFIPHIPHE, Isazisi kwiDiaspora, kunye netekhnoloji yentshukumo yentshukumo. "I-ART ibisoloko ilulwimi lwam lokuqala kunye nohlobo lonxibelelwano. Ndikhumbula ndibona ipeyinti yempembelelo ye-monet kwenye indawo nokuba zizimisele ngendawo ebukhali kwaye ithambile njengoko ndaya phambili. Ndinomdla kwinto yokuba ndibone ukuba i-artist yenze phi amanqaku kunye nokucinga: Ndingayenza loo nto."

Njengoko ubugcisa bayo buyabalisa imizimba, amazwi, kunye namabali abasetyhini kunye nabantu abangengabantu abangenambonakalo, Ibika i-itlace kwabo basinda kubundlobongela obuphathelele ngokwesini esekwe kwisini. Yimoto yobuqu kubantu abasindileyo ukuba livakalise amava abo kwaye njani ukuba ubundlobongela babachaphazele njani. Njengexhoba ngokwakhe, I-MCDDINEIIM iyaqonda kwaye ivumela izifundo zakhe ezahlukeneyo zokungaqondakali xa sele epeyinta incwadi yawo. "Ndiqala ukupeyinta kwam ngexesha lencoko yokuqala endinayo nesihloko kwaye ndiyiphelise xa imaski yongezwa kwipeyinti, kunye nokubeka ilizwi labo kwisithuba se-canvas. Inkqubo yam iqala kwindawo esondeleyo neyasese, Emva koko ndisebenzisa ngokuthe ngcembe iingqimbaniso zide zilungele ukwabiwe kwindawo yoluntu okanye umboniso." Ngexesha lengxoxo phakathi kwakhe kunye nabalawulwa bakhe, Ubeka umshicileli phakathi kwabo kwaye ubabuze ngezinto zazo ezibalulekileyo, Iimpawu zokuba ngubani, kwaye zinjani. Ngokusebenzisana nezifundo, Imvakalelo yolawulo inikwe emva kubo njengoko bephethe inqanawa yendlela abamelwa ngayo. Bathatha isigqibo malunga nesithuba kwaye beziphi izinto kunye nokubeka kwakhona ukuphinda babe nequbuliso kunye nemfihlo.

Ukujonga iipeyinti zepeyinti kuphela kwinxalenye yohambo lokuqonda imbali ngasemva kobugcisa. UMcDaniel usebenza ngetekhnoloji yentshukumo yentshukumo yokufumana abaphulaphuli bayo kwi-ARDS yakhe, Ukuzibeka kwizihlangu zezifundo kunye namava abo. Imizobo ifika ebomini njengoko bethetha nabaphulaphuli nje ukuba le yokugqibela ibangela inzwa. Njengoko uMcDaniel uxelela iBlanc, "Iaudiyo ikwindawo yokukhulula umntu onoxanduva lokuqhuba ibali labo kuphela. Abantu abaninzi bafumana ubundlobongela obutshatile. Ndiyathemba ukubeka la mabali kwihlabathi, Ke abasindileyo ayisiyiyo kuphela abanoxanduva lokujongana nalo mbandela. Ubundlobongela obenziwa kwabasetyhini kunye ne-femmme-echonga abantu ngumbandela wehlabathi obekho kuyo yonke imbali kunye nokufumana ikholoni. Ukwabelana ngebali yinkqubo ebalulekileyo, Incoko, ivumela umbono obenwatyiweyo ukuba avele kwaye asebenzele ukuhamba kwizisombululo eziya kwenza umhlaba uzikhusele wonke umntu. Ndikhetha ukusebenza kunye nezinzwa ezishukumayo njengoko benza umda womzimba wokupeyinta: Awungekhe ungene kwindawo yokupeyinta ngaphandle kokunxibelelana nebali, kanye njengoko ubuya kunxibelelana nomntu. Ibuza umbukeli ukuba aqwalasele imeko yomnye umntu aze abaphathe ngembeko, endiyikholelwayo yi-Bare ubuncinci, Ukanti abanye abantu kufuneka bakhunjuzwe ngayo."

Xa ubuzwa malunga nokupeyinta usebenze kwizibuko alomntu ngamnye kunye nomculi, I-MCDaniel izabelo "ICleveland: Apho wakubonayo / into ayibonayo kwaye ibalisa ibali lezizukulwana ezintathu zaseNavajo (Enye) abafazi. Silirekhodile ibali le-old, ofudukele esweni e-Arizona ukuya kwisikolo sonobhala eCleveland, IOhio, Ngaphambi kokuguqukela kumncinci ekufumaneni ukugqitywa kwezithethe zabo." Abasetyhini abathathu bahlala kwisofa. I-Pepper ebalulekileyo ye-Pepper i-canvas, njengokuqubuka kwi-Pintal Wallet-ubungakanani, umtya wezilwanyana eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ezifana nentamo yomfazi ngasekunene, kwaye icinezelwe iintyatyambo kunye neziqwenga ze-jebelry ngaphezulu kokuseta ngokungafaniyo.

"Bendicinga ngotshintsho rhoqo kwaye zinjani zonke iziganeko ebomini bethu, wonke umntu kunye nomzuzu siyadibana, tshintsha. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndicinga ukuba utshintsho lungenakufikeleleka kwaye luyimfuneko. Umhlaba ojikeleze uhlala utshintsha, kwaye kufuneka siziqhelanise nokuphila kwaye sibhetele omnye komnye. Njengoko umhlaba wethu kunye netekhnoloji lukhula kwaye uphuhlile, Luxanduva lwethu lokuziphatha lokuguqula ngokomoya kwaye uqiniseke ukuba sisawukhathalela umhlaba nabantu abasingqongileyo. Zininzi iindlela zokucinga nge-metamorphosis, Kodwa kuyimfuneko ukhumbule ukhulisa kunye novelwano emhlabeni njengoko sifumana kakhulu. Kufuneka silwele ukhuseleko, ubulungisa, kwaye uvelwano kubo bonke njengoko umhlaba uphendula iinkqubo zayo eziphelelwe lixesha kwaye zihlala zilungile. Sininzi kakhulu phakathi kotshintsho; Kufuneka samkele kwaye siqiniseke ngaphandle kokulibala ukuba siphi kwaye apho sivela khona." Kwi-gisela mcmorphosis kaGiseela, Uthula iigobolondo zekhreyithi yakhe, Iimpukane kumda we-cliff, kwaye ihamba phambili ukuba ichaze ukuphiliswa kwabahlali.
