So I just wanted to share a current series that I am working on. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Oh, How She Blooms! III

The Black woman is the most unprotected,
unloved woman on earth…

She is the
only flower on earth…that grows unwatered.”

— Kola Boof

Oh, How She
Blooms! III
is rooted in my
interest in the quote by Kola Boof. The symbolism of dried floral, epoxy resin,
and portraits is a physical manifestation of my glorification of Black women. These
handmade sculptures are a visual representations of my desire to preserve and
protect Black women; to keep them blooming infinitely.
