Intare Y'ingore (Lioness)

2022 | Acrylic, Stretched on Wood Frame.

This artwork seeks to demonstrate how fashion reflects the evolution of technology and the ways in which women are assigned moral characters based on unfounded prejudice. In certain localities, females have been marginalised and silenced for centuries in the name of culture. The illustration sheds light on questions of gender equality and women’s worthiness of living and leading on the same terms as men. Lionesses go hunt for prey to feed their pride: let’s give women opportunities to chase their vision too.
