For this audio visual exhibit, rapper Queens D Light introduces us to her muse. Inspired by the Yoruba goddess Oshun aka Lady of the Lake, we scrapped a collage together of underwater snapshots like a seafarer might in an effort to find their love below, and paired with an improvised monologue by Queens.

How did you first come across Oshun? 

I first came across Oshun in a reading by a Yoruba priest. He said she watches over me and guides my path. After reading up on her, I found a lot of similar qualities in us both. She loves the beautiful and reflects those who rotate around her- much like myself.

Does Oshun inform your personal brand as Queens D Light?

Oshun inspires a lot of my art. She is attached to gold, honey and mirrors. I reference these things visually in my music video “Love Pistol”. Studying my videos or lyrics you’ll hear many of these things interwoven.

As someone who raps, models, and makes videos, and much more, what  opportunity do see in multidisciplinary creative approaches for building your own visions as an artist?

Well its important not to limit your own creativity. We are here to be architects and build. My art comes from the core of me- channeling in ways I do not completely understand, yet I embrace that ambiguity. When creating you are giving birth to new ideas and I understand this is more important then vessel it comes through it self. Its important to accept the many fashions my art chooses to manifest so that I may fluid.
