Aïsha Lehmann, a mixed-race Latter-day Saint artist, notes that her title for this piece explores how the priesthood restriction of the mid-19th century until 1978 has personally affected her on an introspective level. While moving among peers who haven’t had to face the history of that restriction in such a personal manner, the journey can at times feel isolating, making Lehmann feel "both visible and invisible.”
