Just like collages, Instagram is a space for self-expression, and Rashidi chooses to show a version of herself that she would like to show more often.
The aesthetic of her Instagram is minimalistic and simple, and often features pictures edited with a dark and greyish filter. This is no coincidence, Rashidi actually has cataracts in her eyes. This means that her sight is clouded and that bright lights exert a great strain on her eyes. This is why she is drawn to dark filters and darker photo lighting.
Rashidi often shares pictures of architecture, fashion and makeup, which are all elements featured in her collages. She also features images of herself. This is important to her as she wants to create space for women that look like her.
