Paige Tate

My current work centers on portraying Black people as larger than life, elevated, radiant, and deeply worthy of being seen. Through digital collage, I place my subjects within lush, dreamlike environments that reflect beauty, softness, power and imagination

In this collage, I use blue as both an emotional atmosphere and a symbolic language to explore imagination, possibility, and the expansiveness of Black childhood. The piece features a large-scale Black boy peering over a cityscape surrounded by clouds, with both the figure and environment immersed in rich blue hues. This piece reflects my broader practice of creating larger-than-life representations of Black people in beautiful and surreal spaces, offering moments of reverence, possibility, and emotional depth.
