Curls in Bloom
Artist Statement
Curls in Bloom is a vibrant celebration of Black identity, resilience, and beauty. This mixed-media piece, crafted with yarn, felt, and fabric embroidery, vividly captures the rich texture of Black hair. Each curl reflects strength, heritage, and self-expression, serving as a visual testament to the diversity and depth of Black culture. The large, blooming Afro symbolizes growth and the profound cultural roots that shape our identity. Through this artwork, I aim to honor the artistry of Black hair—its defiance, elegance, and storytelling power that spans generations and embodies unwavering pride and empowerment.
