"Black is Queen" is a regal and Afrocentric piece that celebrates the strength, beauty, and majesty of Black women. This all-black vertical sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural traditions and the enduring legacy of Black identity and empowerment.
The 3D face, veiled by intricately braided hair adorned with shells, speaks to ancestral connections and the storytelling woven into hairstyles that have been passed down through generations. The shells symbolize wisdom, femininity, and spiritual protection, adding depth to the narrative of resilience and grace.
The vertical crown, constructed from braided hair extensions and wrapped in a circular formation, rises boldly, embodying the unshakable pride and power of a queen. Its height and shape signify aspirations, strength, and the boundless potential of Black womanhood.
"Black is Queen" is both a declaration and a celebration, inviting viewers to honor the beauty, resilience, and royalty inherent in Black culture. It stands as a timeless reminder that Black women are, and have always been, queens.
