A young black girl with gravity defying pigtails has her eyes closed and looks maybe unassuming. Her two braids, with bobbles near the scalp and on the ends are ready to fight off white hands wanting to touch them without their permission. The pigtails, also animate with a life of their own, also feature inscriptions with the warning “DON’T TOUCH.” The juxtaposition of her calm demeanor and her unruly pigtails conveys a quiet defiance.
