Your flesh uses to swing in the southern breeze
Your flesh uses to swing in the southern breeze is a vibrant tribute to the sensibility and aesthetics of black culture. After the series of tragic events in the United States in recent years, my series is meant to be an emotional and physiological resurrection.

entry description
The Black Man is the damned of the earth. There is not a nation that suffers as much from birth, identity, and color as he does. To exist today is to live at the height of your death, and it is painful. To ease this pain, I imagined scenes that explore the strength, dignity and incredible beauty of the Black Man.Your flesh uses to swing in the southern breeze is a vibrant tribute to the sensibility and aesthetics of black culture. After the series of tragic events in the United States in recent years, my series is meant to be an emotional and physiological resurrection.
about the photographer
Kano Kano is a photographer living in Montreal. Her photographic practice is in its essence supported by emotion. Her purely artistic works bear witness to a particular desire to explore human nature. She is interested in identity issues and beauty criteria by exploring bodies forcing us to question the codes of today's society. By extension, the portraits she produces have for vocation, without pretension and sincerity, the human soul's exposure. Before embracing the photographer's career, Kano Kano studied economics and politics at the H.E.C and the University of Montreal, where she moved towards a career as a journalist. However, the desire to create has quietly established itself for the expression of her creativity. Her artistic journey began at Collège Lasalle, where she studied fashion design. All diplomas in hand, she left Montreal to live and work in Hong Kong. A few years later, she returned home, where photography stood out as her medium. In 2017, Kano Kano decided to enroll in an international school of photography. A year plus later, she graduated from Collège Marsan, where she developed a strong style for portraiture and nude. Since then, Kano Kano's works have been noticed internationally: her images are published in magazines, galleries, and international awards. You can see her works exhibited in Barcelona.back to gallery
