Lastly I noticed, a subcategory of this project named "Sugar Baby.' I ma not sure if these were her intentions but I couldn't help from thinking about the current definition of that word. I would describe a sugar baby as someone who is partnered with someone for their money. To go into further detail, this usually refers to a younger woman who seeks an older man that can provide for her financially in exchange for sexual acts or commitment. Again usually describing women who prostitute themselves for money and security.

The "Sugar Daddy" usually being that of a rich middle aged or older male (white).

These sketches and dialogue that she created trying to determine how she wanted to approach the creation of the monument. She calls sugar a "false commodity" or something that is not needed. She also addresses the physical changes that coincide with the over-consumption of such products. While the wealthy held banquets and feasted on sweet treats the people responsible for providing that sugar were malnourished on the waste products of the master/ overseer. Again how your contributions allow the cycle to continue.

How your purchases affect other people.

Although in history we are taught about the "good" aristocrats or royal families and the "bad" ones, they are all guilty of one thing. Just how earlier discussions proposed mindful thinking, this also has a common theme among wealthy imperial powers. During the early days of refined sugar, the crop was practically grown from the blood, sweat and tears of countless Natives and enslaved Africans. The very purchase of sugar meant you were wealth and therefore most likely benefited from triangular slave trade. The privilege and total disregard for human life.

The "Let them eat cake!" attitude and quality of life

( Sidenote- Marie Antoinette never said that!; his-story)

The concept of art itself is based one the individual interpretation of a subject matter. She depicts the real honest and relatively satirical version of what others see or think. I can parallel this approach to that of another artist, Charlie Chaplin. He created many movies and silent films but one of the most notable being the one about Nazi Germany. This was not intended to "offend" but cause the audience to think and spread awareness.

There are several things that I love about this sculpture, and the bigotry is one of them. This sphinx symbolizes the blatant existence of Misogynoir. First as you examine the monument, immediately you see its characteristics. Similar to racist caricature drawings of black women it is displayed on the sphinx. The sphinx has the appearance of a "mammy" or a black female domestic worker that existed during and after slavery. Also, she has exaggerated proportions of her nose, lips, breast, vaginal area, and buttocks.

Then, you must acknowledge the white sugar coating. The white sugar references the fact that women and men like her worked to death to extract sure they would never benefit from. The very sugar that she (the statue) cultivated was the same thing that put her in bondage and threatened her life. They ideas these ideas are so inter-sectional that sugar can act as part of her identity.
