About The Artwork

To celebrate Black love is to honour a lineage of resilience, tenderness, and joy. It is to witness a love that blooms not despite the world, but in full defiance of it - radiant, rooted, and revolutionary.

This is a tribute to the beauty of love within the Black community - love that nurtures, protects, and uplifts. A love that carries memory, that heals, that dreams forward.

Black love is not just romantic - it is ancestral, spiritual, communal. It is an act of softness in a world that often demands hardness. It is resistance through affection. Power through connection. Beauty in its purest, most unapologetic form.

To celebrate Black love is to celebrate wholeness, and the sacred act of being seen - fully, freely, and without fear.
