About The Artwork

The idea of creating smaller heads is not only a method of creating a disproportionate human body but defines the supposed intellectual capacity and capability of dark skinned race by some of a few other races. It exaggerates the head and hair in opposite ways such that if a silhouette of the figure is created, it looks normal, but if a Normal view is created and the body is separated from the head, the hair looks as though it is too big for the head as well as the body. Every element of these works are put together to describe the idea of afrocentrism and pan Africanism. The paintings utilize sand for the hair as a means of defining human origin as well as the beginning of the black race. Aside color, the nature of our hair as Africans is another defining factor of our race. Having a thick curly black hair referred to as afro hair. these paintings make them so visible and significant as it is a defining factor of our race as well as the unique dark skin tone. Some "non-blacks" believe the blacks don't have sufficient intellectual capacity to compete and hence the head size. Meanwhile, the inability to meet up and compete is as a result of the inadequate resources and the level of development unachieved in this part of the world. These expressive paintings describe and capture moments in my life and people close to me as Africans and changes I undergo.
