Black women with dark skin are statistically recognized as undesirable partners due to the stigmatized image of them in society. The Brown Paper Bag Test served as a way to racially discriminate against those who happened to be darker than a brown paper bag. Darker=denied, lighter=admittance. This digitally drawn image represents being trapped in this colorist reality in such a way that it consumes the subject mentally and emotionally expecting "he loves me not" from the petals of the flower.
