singular departure, close, but over there, 2026

AIR 2023

Inkjet print on paper

This work is part of a series of self portraits, I made while on an artist residency at Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France. I was utilizing self portraiture at the time, as a poetic response toward internalized feelings of strangeness and unfamiliarity, alongside the possibilities having the capacity to feel more open, and ecstatic in unknown spaces. a paradox of sorts.

This print is available only from September 17th - December 7th, 2026. After this date, this image will not be made available in this format again.

zakkiyyah najeebah dumas - o'neal

I work across video montage, sound, performance, and image-making as a process of composition, revelation, and reorientation, to construct visual and sonic moments that negotiate my relationship to personal memory, collective histories, and embodiment. My practice works alongside, and with Black feminist thought, poetry, visual culture, and everday experiences as forms of knowledge production.

Thoughts on the lab

Having the privilege of using available and state of the art printers allowed me to envision more material possibilities for my work. For example, I was able to print on metallic paper, learned how to make inkjet image transfers, and build out a small portfolio of printed work. Working with Latitude technicians made printing on some of the larger printers feel more approachable, and accessible, as someone who was not formally trained in photography or digital photo printing.
