Charcoal, synthetic braiding hair, rhinestones on paper
The hot pink Afro textured hair against dark black skin serves as a cultural memory of my time in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire in 2021 where I was exposed to the plethora of vibrant color palettes of the stunning country. It truly was a cinematic experience living in Abidjan and experiencing the way people self expressed through their vibrant colored braids, Afro textured hair or adornments such as iridescent nose piercings.
