For the first sixteen years of my life, I was taught to stay away from everything unholy, all the deepest, darkest profanities of the world, the "other side." Sitra Achra is the term used to describe all the things on the "other side" of holiness, like queers, and women who don't fit traditional definitions of femininity, women who go to college and want to have babies outside of marriage and without husbands. Sitra Achra is me. Now, as I sit on the other side, I try and find a way to see the two sides of myself together, to create a conversation between tradition and heresy.

So this month, notice where your eyes go. You might be looking at something you have looked at for years, and finally be ready to see it differently. 💙

Self-Portrait Beheading. acrylic on canvas by Rosabel Rosalind, 2020. Rosalind's collections of paintings draw on different wells of inspiration and reference different subjects, but what they all have in common is a startling vividity. this painting in particular depicts Judith, who slew Holofernes.

Through depicting the intersections of identity, class, and spirituality, I hope to contribute to the moving canon of revolutionary surrealist art. I create with the belief that art can be weaponized as self-defense against an anti-truth culture plagued by unhealed generational trauma. My work features empowering and electrifying imagery created to energize people, as well as celebrate marginalized folks carrying themselves with clout. The pieces exist as spiritual tools created with the intention to manifest a blissful and equitable future.
