Roller Girl
February 1, 2021 | Cincinnati-based photographer Adil Akhtar’s shoot with Kenzie Cave.
Adil Akhtar is an analog and digital photographer. His photographs tell stories without words, revealing a glimpse into the intimate world of his subjects. Adil is willing to travel anywhere to tell new stories.
Kenzie Cave (alias cavegrll, @sabrtoof) is a Cincinnati-based artist. A self-proclaimed daydreaming visionary, she has had a calling to art since she was a little girl. She isn’t fixed to one style of self-expression, ie, dancing, painting, printing, clay-working, and DIY fashion. Currently, cavegrll is working on multiple small projects. She is inspired by the multi-layering of vintage romance comics from the 60-80’s and pop art style coloring. Thick lines and contrast are her favorite shticks. Her identity as a woman is often the motive behind her pieces. Her Icons are often center stage in her art, like Dolly Parton or the iconic female skaters of the 20th century. Her advice to all the girls still figuring out who they are? “Follow any urge in the name of artistic exploration.”
Thank you, Adil Akhtar, for sending in your Creative Space submission
