Description: During the Summer of 2020, as protests for racial justice and equality dominated headlines, a narrative emerged that overlooked the voices and experiences of those yearning for change within their own communities.

Created with smudges of black, the subject seems to fade into the grey. Through the bonds in her attire, she shows a soft strength amidst adversity. The layers of colorful lacquer shine shed light on different life experiences that leave behind something beautiful.
