Beauty Paradox is a visceral celebration of a Black Womanhood, redefining traditional beauty standards through the unapologetic portrayal of a nude figure amidst the lush, untamed essence of nature. This artwork dismantles historical narratives that have erased and distorted representations of Black beauty, instead presenting a powerful, unbridled, and unapologetic truth. By reclaiming & redefining beauty of her own terms, this piece invites viewers to bear witness to the beauty, strength, resilience that has always existed, yet often remains unseen.
