The Thinker (2023)
Watercolor on paper 10”×14”
 
A young Black girl, dressed in ragged clothing, sitting on a porch with a contemplative expression occupying her face. Her posture suggests deep thought, as she seems lost in the quiet space of her mind. The scene captures the weight of responsibility she bears, yet there’s an underlying sense of longing for something more.
 
The Thinker symbolizes the power of introspection, even in the most challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder that, despite external limitations, we always have the capacity to reflect, seek solutions, and envision a different path for ourselves.
