Crowns (2023)
Oil on canvas 24”×30”
 
A stunning mature Black woman stands in a sleek black dress, adorned with an elegant black and white hat. The hat’s veil obscures her eyes, hiding her emotions, while her crossed arms convey a guarded and closed heart. The contrast between her poised exterior and her hidden vulnerabilities creates a powerful visual narrative.

Crowns symbolizes the duality of appearances—the beauty we present to the world versus the hidden pain or unresolved emotions within. It challenges viewers to look beyond the surface and consider the unseen stories that shape us.
