"Attuned" a self-portrait photograph by PhenomenaLewis was photographed in her bedroom in May of 2020. This photograph shows PhenomenaLewis, a dark-skinned Black woman with exaggerated dark skin in Black and white wearing a white robe that simultaneously plays as a turban against a purple cloudy sky with a hoop shape circling around her. Photographing this self-portrait was easy because I knew I wanted to carry the spirit of another self-portrait photograph, Empyrean, into this one. It was a spirit of serenity. I kept similar color schemes to carry the essence of feeling peaceful. I wanted to also go back to my other self-portrait photograph, Evolved, where I wrapped my blanket around myself entirely and did something similar to that with a bedsheet. I realized much later on that my use of blankets, bedsheets, pillows, fabrics like satin and velvet is because of comfort. It puts me in the headspace of being comfortable and allows me to feel soft too. This self-portrait was also photographed in my bedroom.

Lewis Derogene, known artistically as PhenomenaLewis, is a Haitian-born artist currently residing in Connecticut. Her artistic journey was significantly influenced by her upbringing in a family filled with creatives, where her mother was a fashion designer in Haiti, and her aunts and uncles pursued careers in music, painting, and sculpture. From a very young age, she had a strong interest in the arts, which she has passionately pursued and embraced throughout her life. Lewis holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree from the School of Visual Arts, which she earned in 2019. Currently, she is enrolled at the Academy of Art University, where she is working towards a Master of Arts (MA) in Fashion Art Direction. This advanced degree represents not only a significant qualification but also a unique opportunity for Lewis to combine her artistic talents with a visionary role in creatively directing various productions, such as fashion editorials, music videos, and entertainment industry projects. Her aspiration is to share her profound creativity with the world and leave a lasting mark on the arts. Throughout her artistic journey, Lewis's work has been infused with a compelling sense of nostalgia and a deep longing for connection. Themes of identity, the power of storytelling, and the attraction of imperfection are central to her artistic exploration. Her goal is to create art that resonates with the heart, awakening emotions and connections within individuals, allowing them to find deeper meaning within themselves and the world around them. Lewis is a versatile artist who skillfully works with various mediums, including photography, 3D modeling, sculpture, installation art, painting, and drawing. Her portfolio showcases an extensive body of work, reflecting the depth of her identity and the numerous sources of inspiration that fuel her creativity. She draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists, such as Rembrandt, known for his mastery of chiaroscuro, which expertly guides the viewer's gaze, Aida Muluneh, whose simplistic yet bold photo manipulations resonate with her, and Muholi Zanele, acclaimed for their powerful self-portrait photography. At the core of her artistic journey is a strong desire to express and embody softness as a Black woman. Lewis's work serves as a compelling exploration of identity, art, and humanity, inviting viewers to join her on a journey of self-discovery, connection, and creative expression.
