Artist’s description:
Target Practice is a meditation on principles of self defense for BIPOC femmes. It features my poem "ring of fire around us/no jodas con mi gente/te vas a quemar" written using palo santo as a cleansing and affirmation. The paper has bullet holes in it making gun powder part of the piece as well.
