RISD Museum Acquires Work by Shikeith

A Missed Prayer (2017) by Shikeith has joined the Rhode Island School of Design Museum's permanent collection. In this psychologically charged photograph, two subjects sit close, one facing away and tattooed with the expression, “Only God Can Judge Me”, the other looking directly at the viewer. The eye that meets the camera’s gaze makes it clear that this moment is a private one, watching over the sacred time reserved for intimacy or prayer.
