  • “Debunking societal definitions of ideal beauty and dress, as well as stereotypes of social media, [Roberts] questions the construction of race and the racializing gaze endemic to Western culture. Her collages and text-based works not only articulate a critique of accepted typologies of the unified self but also affirm the untold value of difference.”
    —Roxana Marcoci
