"Mermaid" is a captivating 3D mixed-media piece that celebrates the beauty, individuality, and mythical allure of the feminine form. At its core is a bronze-toned 3D female face captured in a serene side profile, exuding strength and elegance.
Her hair—crafted from vibrant hair extensions styled in box braids and soft locs—is the centerpiece of the composition. The hair cascades in a stunning array of colors, seamlessly blending into one another like the mesmerizing hues of a coral reef. Adorned with gold hair jewelry, the hair becomes a symbolic representation of richness, empowerment, and cultural heritage.
The deep ivory background serves as a subtle yet sophisticated canvas, punctuated by colorful paint splatters that evoke the dynamic, fluid movement of water. These splashes of color mirror the vibrancy of the hair, creating an immersive visual experience that draws viewers into the magical world of the mermaid.
"Mermaid" celebrates the connection between mythology and reality, using texture, color, and symbolism to explore themes of self-expression, beauty, and cultural pride. It’s a tribute to the power of transformation and the enduring spirit of those who dare to shine in their individuality.
