This painting is full of vitality, rhythm and joie de vivre. The woman's face becomes a symbol of strength, pride and celebration. Her afro hair, full and powerful, frames the scene as an icon of identity and cultural resistance. The colour palette conveys movement, as if the figure were dancing to the beat of invisible but very present music. The silver leaf background further highlights the central figure, and the detail of the gold leaf earring adds a focal point to the work. This work is a tribute to the beauty of being, of living fully and dancing with pride in the skin you inhabit. It is a call to celebrate life, each person's history, our heritage and culture.
