**Refined message:**Discover 'Meant To Be' by Lavett Ballard, an original artwork that celebrates the elegance, resilience, and strength of Black womanhood. This work on Stonehenge paper uses mixed media collage, blending gel prints, handmade paper, metallic foil, and paints with vintage digital imagery to create a visually compelling narrative. I consider this as paperworks or "Wood Adjacent," forming a limited and unique body of work within my practice. 'Meant To Be' is not just an artwork; it's a tribute to the powerful stories of the African Diaspora, particularly focusing on the female gender. Explore this evocative piece that perfectly aligns with Lavett Ballard's mission of visually narrating rich cultural histories.
