Mukarukundo with a Long Neck

2021 | Watercolor on paper, with a wood frame

Inspired by a stylish African woman, this watercolor painting on paper contemplates stereotypical beauty standards by depicting elegance and brilliance in often undermined features. The things we may consider flaws or weaknesses could be what makes one stunning, such as the long neck that makes the woman in this portrait stand out.
