Love

"Love" is a deeply personal and evocative piece, a self-portrait inspired by Frida Kahlo, that encapsulates the intricacies of a relationship. It portrays myself and my now ex-husband in an intimate embrace, with exposed chests revealing vulnerability. Strings connect our hearts, symbolizing the interconnectedness and emotional ties. The African violets backdrop signifies commitment, while adire fabric wrapped around your waists represents the strength of community. The artwork conveys equality through matching height and hairstyles, and unity through the tender grip of hands. African themes infused throughout add cultural depth, making it a poignant reflection of love's complexities and the enduring spirit of togetherness.
