Inspired by Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley's book, Thiefing Sugar, Tinsley affirms women-to-women sexual and romantic intimacy throughout history in the Caribbean. Sovereignty reimagines the artwork on the cover of Tinsley’s book, "Three Caribbean washerwomen by a river" painted by Agostino Brunias in the late 1700s. By removing the male and colonizer's gaze, these two women are free to playfully admire each other's company in private.
