Untitled (Group of Women)

2024 | Oil On Canvas, Unframed

This African contemporary artwork challenges the societal notion that a woman’s value rests solely in her fleeting youthful beauty—a crown worn briefly, then passed on. By depicting a group of African women, it questions unrealistic beauty standards and affirms that women embody far more: strength, individuality, and enduring power beyond appearance.
