Myriad details distinguish the various characters Muholi inhabits within the frame, but these two contrasting elements sear the artist indelibly into the mind of the viewer.

The Afrofuturistic narrative conceives this same ocean as a liberatory device for pregnant African women who, according to the myth, jumped or were flung alive off slave ships while being transported from Africa to the New World.
