The stark contrast between the dark chasm and the surrounding white fibres symbolises a feeling of isolation amidst societal pressures to

conform. Through the intricate weaving and layering, Mook illustrates the tension and struggle of existing in a culture and society without feeling a sense of belonging.

Black Sheep is not only a personal reflection but also a broader

commentary on the beauty norms that pervade society. By reclaiming and highlighting dark tones as the central element of this artwork, Mook challenges these norms and asserts her inherent strength. This piece invites viewers to reconsider their own perceptions of beauty and to appreciate the richness that comes from embracing all shades.
