These paintings represent the isolation and struggles experienced by the citizens of the Mulatto Nation. They deal with such issues as identity, rejection, prejudice, and spirituality in relationship to one's pigmentation. Revealed here is the brown-paper-bag-test used in historic Mulatto society to determine "acceptable" skin color.
