I agree that lack of representation is an issue and understand the point you’re making - but I think it’s made more complicated by the fact that Black artists are also vastly underrepresented in public art, and this is the work of a contemporary Black artist. I don’t think one issue negates or cancels out the other, it just feels complex.

It’s very complex, especially as we are talking about a subject is nothing but opinions and interpretations. But I couldn’t agree more. I’m happy that black artists are producing more black art for us to experience, I just feel like the statue turned out how it did (headless) because it’s black and that’s why my complaint is what it is
