ABOUT THE ARTWORK

She had fears, but remained strong Hid her tears, and still played along knowing she wouldn't be in chains for long She cried every night singing a freedom song The rectangle is a measure of uncertainty Whose sides are both equal and unequal Not certain if Africans have true sovereignty Some do not even think we all are coequal There is a lot to share And a lot to withhold Enough for you to care And willing to behold Stories hidden in the hair Which would be told Giving Sand to art to wear And with paint we enfold I tell stories so you can hear And then artworks are sold A history I need to repair A mystery I need to unfold
