"Kenwanna" (1996) is a photographic work by Dawoud Bey, showcasing a young Black woman with braided hair. The image is divided into four sections, revealing different perspectives of the subject, a technique reminiscent of photo strip booths. This approach emphasizes the subject’s individuality and presence, highlighting the personal narrative within Bey’s larger project of capturing Black identity and experience. The intimate scale and soft lighting contribute to the powerful impact of the photograph.
