With a trunk for legs, a crown of leaves, and roots sprouting from her mouth, this figure is an amalgamation of a body and a tree. Artist Rosana Paulino's untitled drawing from her Jatobá series comments on patriarchal society’s equation of gender and racially-minoritized people with plants, water, and animals as a strategy of subordination. In uniting the Black female body with the jatobá, a tree that has many healing properties, however, she creates a reparative image—one that reclaims the association of women with the land.
