Nefertiti is a regal 3D piece inspired by the iconic Egyptian queen and her timeless representation of beauty, power, and wisdom. At the heart of the artwork is a sculpted 3D face, which channels the grace and poise of the legendary ruler. The piece is crowned with her signature blue headdress, meticulously recreated using braided hair extensions to incorporate an Afrocentric twist. The gold accents, interwoven into the braids, highlight themes of royalty and grandeur, paying homage to Nefertiti’s status as an enduring symbol of strength and elegance.
The textured background adds depth and richness to the composition, creating a visual narrative that bridges ancient history with modern interpretations of cultural identity. The layers of texture symbolize the complexities of heritage, resilience, and the legacy of African influence across time.
Nefertiti serves as both a tribute to the queen herself and a celebration of the enduring beauty and strength of Black women. It invites viewers to reflect on the powerful intersection of history, culture, and artistry.
