Charcoal, rhinestones on Goyu paper
This piece began as a meditation on the beauty of Afro-centric features and Afro-textured hair, often seen as flawed. Months later, I revisited this piece and embellished my subject with rhinestone butterfly wings, which to me, became a portal to my childhood. Dreamlike, yet assertive, this piece timelessly captures the past and the present, giving the subject maturity and childlike likeness. This ultimately serves as an invitation to embrace the inner child, and reclaim beauty.
