“Behind the crown “

Behind the Crown shifts attention away from the face and toward the intricate architecture of braided hair. By presenting the subject from behind, the work challenges viewers to look beyond conventional portraiture and engage with identity through form, pattern, and cultural expression. The intersecting braids symbolize the meeting of histories, traditions, and personal journeys that shape an individual. This piece celebrates the artistry embedded within hairstyling practices while honoring the cultural knowledge and heritage woven into every strand.
