A Day in a Beauty Salon 1
2024 | Oil On Canvas, Unframed
This painting captures a powerful moment—a Black woman having her hair braided, suspended between care and quiet endurance. The piece reflects beauty as both a personal and collective experience, shaped by ritual, community, and societal expectations. Part of a series exploring imposed beauty standards, it highlights the delicate line between self-expression and silent conformity.
Aligned with the artist’s ongoing exploration of the quiet beauty in the mundane, this work offers a profound reflection on African contemporary art, Black womanhood, and cultural identity.
