About the Piece:
A woman is much like a lemon — both sweet and sharp, soft yet impossible to ignore. The world often wants her easy to swallow, but forgets that her bitterness was born from survival. Some will taste the sweetness in her nurturing spirit, while others will only remember the sting of her boundaries. Either way, pick your poison carefully, because every woman carries both healing and fire within her.
About the Artist:
As a multidisciplinary artist, I create work that celebrates the beauty, resilience, and identity of women through portraiture, photography, and mixed media. Inspired by natural hair, culture, and personal storytelling, my art explores themes of empowerment, healing, and self-expression. Through bold imagery and emotional depth, I aim to challenge social norms while honoring the richness of Black experiences and community. My work invites viewers to see strength, dignity, and authenticity reflected in every piece.
