About The Artwork
‘No more kings’ is my most cherished piece yet. It is my claim to space in a world that white men built to serve them, and balanced on the suffering of people like me. In this painting, I reject being an afterthought as a black woman, and affirm my presence and that of every woman in my family in the world of art and the world at large. The frenzied, angered brush strokes serve as reminders that there is no softness and no grace in this message: I exist, we exist, black women exist. Because we exist, our pain matters and our suffering deserves seeing and caring. These are undeniable facts, inalienable rights.

Ghana
I am an artist, visual designer, and writer from Senegal and currently travelling between Ghana, Senegal, Mauritius, and the Bay Area. Being an artist is my revolution: it allows me to claim space for my suffering in the universe. I paint to explore how anxiety, depression, and trauma affect identity and shape our relationship to freedom. I am fascinated by the 'cry for help' and all the ways in which it manifests on the human body when it is not externalised. I use art to resist the idea that numbing, whether through silence or through consumerism, is an antidote to sadness, pain, and suffering.
