"Bound" is an evocative Mixed Media collage on Stonehenge paper, uniquely crafted as part of my "Wood Adjacent" series. This limited body of work integrates gel prints, handmade paper, metallic foil, and paints, enhanced by digital imagery of vintage photos. Inspired by the forced labor of enslaved African Americans, "Bound" visually narrates the resilience and spirit of the African Diaspora, focusing on the female experience. Each element in the artwork thoughtfully combines, offering a poignant reflection on history and endurance.
